Is there a way to disable the AdChoices bar in outlook.com? It's annoying.

Thanks!

    Hi all.  I've google'd "webmail ad blocker for firefox" and a few links came up.  How do I know which are legitimate downloads?  Thanks.

    Use the one from mozilla:

    Thanks Daryl, that worked a treat!  :)

    For Internet Explorer, do you know if the following download is ok?

    http://download.cnet.com/Webmail-AD-Blocker/3000-12512\_4-10812506.html

    Sorry.  Don't know.  But I think you should be able to set a restore point before you download it and if it's not OK you should be able to return to your saved restore point.

    I google'd cnet reviews and there were quite a few negative comments about their downloads so I'm going to avoid it and keep searching for something safe.

    The downloads themselves aren't so bad, but the CNET downloader installs a toolbar with no ability to suppress that installation.
