Stop Flash Popups in Firefox

Firefox popups: Great, great Firefox hack. This is driving me nuts.

Like you, I love Firefox for many reasons, including popup blocking. So over the last few weeks I’ve been surprised to see occasional popups. It turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings.

I tried this but it still doesn't block the pop-under on CNN.com. Tricky little devils over there....
