Those pop-ups aren't "from Mozilla", you probably picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.) They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.

If these don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help. Having a list of the URL's that were being opened might be helpful in identifying the exact piece of Malware you have.
