    Hi forum freaks,

    a super big ad-window is popping up when clicking on a download link (you know, where).
    As I have a big 16:9 monitor, I have to push it some seconds until I reach the "close" button.

    This is totally annoying and I cannot find a way to close this extra browser window (Firefox) with a key command. Is there anyone out there who knows a trick to close the window without closing the main Firefox window?

    Thank you for a reply in advance!

    Google NoScript and uBlock origin, ad gone, problem solved.

    CTRL+W closes the focused window, but uBlock origin is really the best solution.

    Don't forget to be signed in, otherwise you will have some annoying popups and ads even with ublock active.
