Unwanted browser popups: how to turn off?

I write stuff on Microsoft Word Online and lately, I get pop-ups from my browser that tell me to close the site, as it's slowing down my browser. I don't want to close my tabs, because I switch between them fairly frequently (I'm writing a story, and I need to keep track of other parts so you can see why that's a no-go). Is there a way to turn this specific pop-up off? I get annoyed always closing out of it whenever it shows up. I use FireFox on a Windows OS system and currently have version 133.0.3 (64-bit). I've had this show up in older versions as well, so it's not just limited to this version. Any help fixing this would be appreciated. -Mars
