BlogExplosion and popup windows

Once again, I got a popup window while surfing on BlogExplosion. The "Block popup windows" option in FireFox is also being disabled by the same javascript that launches the popup window.

I have reported the problem to BlogExplosion. Of course, when you go back to the same blog, the popup doesn't come up again, making it difficult to trace. I have some suspicions as to what's causing it...

I've added the domain from whence it came to my hosts file to attempt to block it

I've noticed Firefox blocking the popups. None have broken through though as of yet on my system. Come to think of it I haven't had a pop up pop up since I started using firefox..love it.
