    if I visit http://www.drudgereport.com/ it shows a pop-up window.
    Only seems to do it on first visit, but I though firefox was meant to prevent pop-up ads?

    No popups here... check you havn't told firefox to allow popups from that site.

    Also: Adblock.

    I get two counts of blocked ads on that page.

    Firefox is very good at stopping pop-up's but there has been a recent bug/exploit that allows pop-unders in firefox. Since that was found out there have been a splurge of pop-unders on the interweb.
