RE: New popup test pages
Hello again,

(I'm aware this and previous posts are essentially off the original topic, but maybe it'll be of interest to some people regarding popups)

For some reason, that I can't really explain, I was wary / a little confused in trying your advice Sidki, regarding the modes issue I asked about.

So what I've done for now, is a little convoluted, but seems to suit me, based on the logic of generally wanting to continue using the Firefox built in popup blocker;

Working generally in Light Mode, I've left the first 3 of your popup filters turned on under Window Handling, but I've changed the first filter there to be:
Popups: Block 7.09.05 (fail) [srl sd th] (d.3)
ie changing the d.1 to d.3 appears to have successfully restricted popup blocking to Standard Mode.
I then force the 2 porn sites I mentioned into Standard Mode using IncludeExclude-U, which means they benefit from the popup blocking including those popundr things.
I then keep switched on and use the Firefox popup blocker in other surfing, seeing as the Prox popup blocker now only activates in Standard Mode, which I don't use except for those couple of exceptions plus *google*

By the way, sometimes when I hear the Prox 'pop' notification, I don't get a i symbol at the bottom of the page to review the blocked popup; is this because that particular popup has some characteristic meaning Prox decides it is not one for viewing? I assume so.
