Every time I time I select to go to another page i have popup with links Allow, Trust, etc. It happened when in Setting, Privacy & Security I went from Standard to Strict. When I got that popup I switched back to /Standard, but the popup still comes up. The Block pop-up windows, but again with no results. I am thinking about reinstalling , but I could loose all new folders and links in them

Hmm, I don't recognize this:

Do you have any add-ons that manage pop-ups? You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  • type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. On the right side, find the "Manage Your Extensions" heading.

If there is at least one extension before the next heading -- "Recommended Extensions" -- please continue:

Then cast a critical eye over the list below that heading. Any extensions Firefox installs for built-in features are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage. Anything that mentions popups or redirects? Anything suspicious or that you just do not remember installing or why? If in doubt, disable (or remove). For your privacy and security, don't let mystery programs linger here.

Any improvement?
