Heh! Yes, I have. I gotta ton of 'em! 
One thing I should mention about upgrading to 1.5 is that some extensions haven't been upgraded either, so some of your extensions won't work anymore. Or at least until they upgrade them.....

Has 1.5 increased it's effectiveness at stopping pops?
can you provide an example of these popups? I'd like to test.

however there were blue windows that popped up, but they were inside the browser, not actual popups.

You guys also might want to check out BTCorp's Firefox Extensions. That's where I got a 1.5-compatible version of Bookmarks Syncronizer.

I wonder if my version of Firefox got corrupted? I just assumed it was because advertisers figured out a way around the popup blockers.
no popups for me - ever. what version of firefox are you running?

Are you running adblock? If you are and he isn't, that could be why he sees some ads and you see none.
Anyone who doesn't have adblock should definitely get it ...

...and the Adblock Filterset.G Updater, don't forget to add shroomery.org to your whitelist though!

I have the Filterset.G Updater, but I know nothing of this whitelist you speak of .... My Filterest.G Updater options tell me "Installed Filterset.G Updater Whitelist version: Not Installed."

Adblock Plus is required for whitelisting.

I thought I was the only one who was getting tons of pop ups with Firefox lately. I'll check out this new version right now.
That wrestling site hit me with about 5 pop ups. Damn.

Nice! I downloaded Firefox 1.5 and went back to that wrestling site. There were no pop ups! My only problem is that now, I'm not sure if this over rode my 1.0 version. Will the Firefox icon on my desktop and in my start menu run my 1.5 now or the 1.0?

it's always good to delete your profile before new installations and start fresh, but to answer your question, all icons should be updated -firefox 1.0 does not exist anymore on your computer and the upgrade should take care of everything.
