That's why you don't know! It is a usually unwelcome window that "pops up" advertisng something or other when you are on a website. Can also be a route to spyware etc if you click on a "close" button in the pop up window.

I have to keep IE around because there always is a site out there that doesn't cooperate with FF or Opera.

That is why there is an add-in to FireFox that allows Firefox to open an "IE specific" page. It uses IE to actually open the page inside firefox.

Yeah, I've got that plugin. Not really used it yet, but I love how it's been implemented .

It sounds like a cool extension, but I hate the idea - seems like wearing ladies underwear under you favorite pair of work jeans. (Of course, if you are a female, or cross-dressor, this analogy doesn't quite work. Not that there is anything wrong with that...)

Seems like a good idea but I boycott IE only sites on principle.

It's one of those things that you hope you'll never need to use - like having a nucelar weapon in your back yard. Until the world gets round to HTML standards it is needed now and again. If a site refuses to render correctly for any non-Microsoft browser then usually I'll move on and it's their loss. Now and again though I need to use IE - an example being eBay where their page for posting an ad is crippled in Firefox.
