How do I stop heavy.com from popping up on my screen? Thanks.
The heavy.com ad keeps opening in the top right of my screen. How do I turn that off? Thanks, SonomaCraig

Does it show on main Browser or how? Screenshot of it? If this is malware then you need to look online on how to remove the infections off your computer.
Yes, it's on Firefox only. It's a small notice that comes in from the right top edge of my screen with a Firefox logo and the headline of a crime story. It stays about 5 seconds and then goes off screen to the right. It happens within a few minutes of when I open Firefox. There is an audio tone also. I'm on a Macbook Pro so I doubt it's malware. I think it's linked to the Firefox browser. If I can get a screenshot of it I'll post it.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad blocker.

I had to erase the last print information because the length was over 10,000 characters.
Not a problem.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Hello SonomaGraig,
At least that site is not malware - see these search results ......
FredMcD's first suggestion might be an excellent idea :
