Can anyone tell me how to stop a "plusone.google.com" tab from opening randomly in Firefox as I read my Google Reader?

Is there any other way not using any plugins?

Maybe try changing the pop-up blocker settings in Firefox? Or you could also try adding the "Adblock Plus popup" add-on to your browser and add plusone.google.com to the list of blocked pop-ups by editing the list.

I tried the pop-up blocker but you can only allow and not block. I'll try Adblock as a last result. Thanks :)
