about two weeks ago I started getting pop-ups. They are very annoying and I don't want them. I checked to see that the blocker was checked and it was. When I open a website a survey window opens. I do not take surveys!! when I go to scroll, a new window opens with some offer or something else I don't want these. How do I get rid of these so I can enjoy my computer again.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.


Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.
