I have been doing surveys for a long time online. I just got Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago. This week while on Pinecone Research and Valued Opinions I had pop ups that appeared at the bottom of the page and covered up the next button so you could not continue the survey. I had to go back to the email and and click it to restart the survey and then go question by question to get where I was at. I cannot click these pop up off the screen, there is no x anywhere. They come on with each question I do of the survey. It is taking forever to finish a survey having to start over with each question. It is a real pain. How do I stop these pop ups from coming on while doing surveys? this is a new computer and I have never had a problem like this before. Is this something to do with Windows 8?

Hey Sweeneyword, there is an addon available for firefox called adblock plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ This should block the ads that are keeping you from continuing. You should also clear your history, cookies, etc and make sure you have malware protection installed.

I wiped my hard drive did a fresh install with win 7 and loaded firefox ver 22 and the first site i went to with firefox I got that damm survey pop up. 

I only had the addons  of downthem all and download video helper , had popup blocker checked, the only way to get rid of firefox

firefox has allways been my browser. so gonna get rid of the survey by the only way Dump firefox and use chrome and IE and I never have liked or used IE They got the edge now . As long as Firefox allows them surveys to get thru, I will no longer use their browser

Hi john32073, do you recall what site it was? Is the survey from that site or do you think it's from some other source?

For future reference, an overlay that appears in front of the page but isn't in a separate window (for example, a window you could minimize or move behind the main window) is not blocked by Firefox's pop-up blocker.
