There is nothing weird that should be going on with the "surfs up" link on the FS page and I cannot reproduce the porblems here. I would check whether you maybne having something like the Google Toolbar or the Yahoo equivolent, both of these I think have some additional pop-up blocking facilities. It may be worth a trawl through installed progreams to make sure nothing has landed on the system you don't know about. Regards.
