I am on a Mac and all of a sudden, I have pop ups coming in all over the place. The check mark is checked to block them, and I read where there is an i with a circle around it, means they are coming from Firefox (which they do) and I have refreshed and ran a disk utility/repair and I cannot get these pop ups to leave me be! This one keeps coming up:

Again, I am on a Mac - viruses are not on this! I have the latest OS software installed too. So something in Firefox is causing this!!
