Cannot Follow Ad in Firefox ( 4 Views )

1. For about the first time ever I saw an ad that interested me and tried to follow it but I cannot do so in Firefox, it is the Frozen Cpu One.
   
   
   
   
   I have allowed HardOCP.com to use popups and when I click on the rotated Corsair ad in the same slot it will open but the FrozenCPU one will not and says that the pop has been blocked.
   
   It opens fine in IE.
   
   Just thought I'd let you know, I am using Firefox 1.5.0.2
   
   Also if you could get Steve to review it that would rock as it looks awesome :)

2. mmm I'm curious, that is kind of a neat.
   
   As for the ad itself, It looks like you took a screenshot of it. Is that because it's a flash based ad? The only ad that appears for me are the google ads and the corair one on the main page. I refreshed and couldn't get the corsair one on the main page to display this one.
   
   I have flash disabled because of how much memory and resources it uses, really drags down my old P3 work computer and laptop. This might be just another case where flash has bugged or somthing. See my post somewhere in the software forum where I was commenting about my issues.

3. Yes its a flash ad.
   
   It would appear that the Corsair one isn't, I assumed it was.
   
   So its following flash ads that is the problem and I think that's already been highlighted so I'll shut up and get in my hole.

   That reminds me. I'm about to do a purchase through NewEgg. If I click through the banners on the site, will HardOCP get a cut? If so, count me in...I'll just have to remember that every time I make a purchase! :)

   Flash ads are my only compaint. The cpu and memory usage they use renders my work computer and laptop nearly inoperable.
   
   Your site isn't the only one, but MANY of your advertisers prefer flash instead of a very simple gif. Those still using simple images I still see, as well as the google ones.

Mem Usage: 38.5MB Why does it have to consume so much cpu usuage, like some damn parasite!

   Only response I got on the forum to my post was that it is typical for flash to be heavy on resouces and no real solution...

9. I think it would be wise to stop while you still have your account. ;)

    I'd rather see it fixed.
    
    For awhile I ran flashBlock extension, but eventually just uninstalled flash the parasite itself.
    
    Newegg is the onyl advertiser which does anygood, with flash not installed it just displays a static image others just come up blank or with the blue puzzle peice. They should take note.
