Firefox with NoScript is the only way to go - because You can allow only what You want to see. Other handy add-ons I use: FEBE (backup FF plugins environment), ZOTERO (awesome for research and snapshots) and Web Developer. If I had to deal with popup ads on LinkedIn, I would not use LinkedIn.

As a result I switched to Firefox 3 with NoScript installed. I only allow content from linkedin.com linkedinlabs.com and lmodules.com I don't get any poorly behaved flash ads. As a result linkedin is really fast for me as I no longer get all those ads. It’s been happening for a long time.

Some can be loud and obnoxious, others do pop-outs (like SafeCount), and so forth. Until they are shown to NOT pull new participants, or enough people actually complain to LinkedIn, I doubt LinkedIn will do anything to change it. They may not even know the advertiser is doing it.
