Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

There is also security software that can block pop-ups, so can can check the advanced settings for Firefox in such programs.
