I get no popups with 32bit firefox 1.5.0.3 with flash enabled going to
http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_schedule/index.jhtml
I also get no popups with 64bit firefox 1.0.8 without flash going to the
same page.
I've tried with the adblock plugin enabled and disabled under 32bit,
same effect.

Trying that same link here: no popups. Same as above.

I'm running Ubuntu breezy on an amd64 box.
Most of my browsing now is using a 32bit Firefox 1.5.0.3 (for flash, etc).
What version of Firefox are you running? Does upgrading help?
