Is it just me or is it a T.D.O thing that when ever I run my cursor over a bit of enhanced Text a damned annoying Pop-Up box appears which offers a prize of an I-phone or a an I-Pad if I enter an online survey...then sell my soul to the online Advertising Devil by freely giving my Mobile Phone Number and Email address to every blessed nuisance marketing company on the planet!!

Can I stop this Pop-Up box somehow by using a T.D.O option?? :x :x :x

Aye..And I'm on Firefox as well, Its nowt to do with porn sites, and all to do ferocious advertisers using a company called "Text Enhanced" who worm their way into your computer, plant cookies that Highlight key words that opens a pop up box for Hundreds of National advertisers..Groupon etc seem to be a popular one. In my view it should be Illegal to Advertise in such an underhanded and unwanted manner..
