Hi all!

I'm wondering if anyone has/knows of a script for Greasemonkey that will stop a website from opening a second copy of Firefox as soon as I click anywhere on the website.

For example, I read the webcomic Cyanide & Happiness, but not every day. When I go there, as soon as I click on the < Previous link to start back tracking to the comics I haven't read yet, it immediatly opens a new copy of Firefox in the background, with some kind of something for their website. It's annoying, and I don't pay any damned attention to what it is. I just ALT-TAB over to it and press CTRL+W to close it.

Frankly, I'm tired of doing that, so I'm hoping there's a Greasemonkey script to stop it from happening. Or even an AdBlockPlus rule/filter/thing I can add to stop it.

Aaaargh, I have that same problem with Cyanide and Happiness! Sorry, nothing constructive to add though.

NoScript prevents that happening, though you will have to whitelist sites that you may want scripts to work on.

Another option is this greasemonkey script. It says that it will close the window for you automatically.
