I'm running firefox - and while the browser does pop-up, I can still manage to close the tab immediately, before the web page actually loads.

If only I could skip always being asked to bookmark the site all the time. It would be nice if the process realised that the answer was "no" for the last 50 giveaways - and try to see some type of pattern forming.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what to tell you then. Personally, I have all pop ups open in a new window. I do agree with you though, it is very annoying to have that window pop up EVERY SINGLE TIME we activate a new piece of S/W.

That has always been my setting

I use IE7 with Vista. Not sure if it's totally the same, but...

You can try going into "Tools/Internet Options", then in the "Tabs" section click "settings", then you'll see "When a Pop-up is encountered" - there are three choices under this category. choose "always open pop-ups in a new tab". That should do it. Let me know.

This is a nusense, not a real problem.

After activation of a GOTD or GGOTD program a new browser instance opens instead of a new tab in the already running browser.

I would prefer that a new tab be opened IF a browser is running.
