Is anybody using the latest version of Firefox getting a sudden flurry of pop up ad's? I haven't switched my Linux box on to try from there but I am getting htis behaviour from the Windows box. I'm not the only one either. Could it be a bug only in the Windows version? Or is it happening in the Linux one too

Kevan, I have not seen this activity on my Windows XP install. I would expect that you may have adware on your windows machine. If you don't have it already I suggest using Lavasoft's AdAware and Spybot Search-and-Destroy. If they don't do it for you get HiJackThis! and remove any browser helper objects that you do not need. Make sure your virus scanner is up to date as well. Good luck! James W
