About every two or three screens I have a pop-up large box that is blank except for a a small X in the upper right corner. I have Adblock Plus enabled.

A right click and view page info shows this:

How do I get rid of this?

hello jborchel, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

I found a "SweetPacks" add-on that my malware program had removed. The extension showed it disabled but I removed it anyway. I will see if that fixed it and post later.
