of PH does not support Firefox 1.0 on Win XP

There is this lotterysubs popup, and I though I'd click it to support PH (I allowed popups in Firefox from PH prior to this). Anyway, a new window opens, which

It's not that I'm surfing with my Linux box or anything other "exotic", it's a boggo Windows box with Firefox. Well, I don't want to see their Webshite actually, but how do they think their ad campaign will work, when they don't support the second most popular browser, which has also the fastest growing user base in this millenium

OK, I'm probably the only Firefox user who has seen this popup, so I best crawl back under my stone and turn the blocker back on

I was curious and allowed it through when it first came out - same problem when clicking on it though.

Ah well - their loss!

Is that the separate pop up that opens? If so, I can't see it either.
