[QUOTE="stefanmaine, post: 1783287, member: 197051"] Thank you all for your thoughts. I have Firefox 57 with Ghostery and AdBlock (added today in response to harryb2448). Neither stops the pop-ups. As MacInWin suggests, these pop-ups seem to be coming from within Quicken itself. PM-r's links don't seem to work either. At a Quicken forum, a Quicken moderator explained that the pop-ups would be turned off soon (confirming that the company controls them), but he was not able (or willing?) to say when. Corporate execs have to make tough marketing decisions, I understand that. But speaking as a decades-old Quicken user, first on DOS, then Windows, and now Mac, being "reminded" to update to the new version EVERY TIME I open Quicken by two, count 'em two, back-to-back pop-ups, is rude, annoying, and unprofessional, and almost certainly the quickest way to drive me to switch to Checkbook Pro. Oh well. Unrelated subject: I have used this forum often since switching from Windows to a MacBook Pro in 2011 (which developed cardiac issues, and prompted my switch to an iMac Retina with Sierra -- about which I can say only, respectfully, MBP RIP, but I LOVE this desktop!). I am more than sorry to see Mac Forums shut down. I look forward to Mac-Forums, as soon as the registration window is open for business. Thank you again for responding to this question ... and to all my others ... and those of other members from which I have learned much as well. [/QUOTE]
