Blocking the Marriott Pop-up

I have popups blocked in foxfire 1.5.08, and use adSubtract 3.0, which removes most ads by right click. when I right click the Marriott ad(the one at the top of the page, and on the right hand margin, I get a set of choices that include Macromedia flashplayer 8, and no block info.

maybe ad comes from tribalfusion.com, or from another which has a 1.2?.net in it. the loading is too fast for me to catch the site at the moment.

when the flyertalk site is running slow, these ads seem to really hang the FT loading.

Interestingly, I've never seen this ad. Firefox 1.5.0.8 with ....... v.5 Development Build 3, nightly 43.

....... is good but you need to combine it with ....... Filterset.G Updater. That extension continually updates your blocking database with the latest popups.

I have the following extensions:

.......
....... Filterset.G Updater
Flashblock
NoScript

With these I NEVER see a popup. You can add popups that you want, such as a bank sign in or something, to a list of acceptable popups.
