(dropdown and sticky)

how to add support for these using filters? o RegExp ?

that site allows you to test many popups, so far with or without adblock extension firefox 1pr blocked the same ones and allowed the same ones.
so i see not much use for adblock then :S

i got it coz someone told me i could get rid of those, but i cant find anything anywhere that tells me how, so far i have managed to block them partially and just for that site, but there are so many other sites that have those, and just adding each one of those sites is as annoying as the adds themselves.

Adblock can block anything that is loaded from an external URL, but those popups are produced by scripts embedded in the page itself. There is simply nothing there for Adblock to block.

Firefox's popup blocker can only handle "real" popups, that is popups which consists of entirely new browser windows, and the popups you mentioned does not.

Well for popup6, just make sure you have a good adblock filter, i mean cmon, the sticky image's actual name is popup.gif. the second one you can block but this wouldnt really block anyother kind of popup but ill tell you how to block it anyhow. In userContent.css add this code:

Blocking popup.gif, or even just popup (although that's a bad idea, since that will cause false positives every time you search google for anything related to popups or popup blocking) would work for that specific page, but a real ad like that wouldn't be so considerate in their choice of names. Popup6 is the same basic concept as popup8, it merely uses a different ID, and positioning.
