    The setting is under Privacy and Security. There is an entire section on Pop-Ups.

    If Mozilla doesn't have the pop-up control section I know Netscape 7.x does. I use the crap out of it.
    "There's a big difference between "copy" and "use". It's exatcly the same
    issue whether it's music or code. You can't re-distribute other peoples
    music (becuase it's _their_ copyright), but they shouldn't put limits on
    how you personally _use_ it (because it's _your_ life)."

    EWWWW. it was the version that comes with redhat that doesnt have the popup blocker. just because i use redhat doesnt mean i should not be able to turn popups off. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT???

    I remember that mozilla 1.2 did not have a pop up blocker. So an upgrade is a good idea. mozilla 1.4 definitely has it.

    Go to Preferences > Advanced > Scripts and Plugins > Disable the first 4 settings.
