How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,

I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers. Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched" the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.

Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only time I saw it.

Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.

I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.

Regards,

Tom Graciano

Chosen solution

You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content

There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.

Does that return to the behavior you want?
