How do I stop face book authentication popup?
I constantly get one of 2 pop ups on many web pages. They ask me to log into Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account. I never use this application.
This happens very often.
OS: XP service pack 3
I can supply screen shots. Here is a pretty exact manual copy:
==============================
Authentication Required
? Enter username and password for http://www.facebook.com
User Name: _____________________
Password: _____________________ ____ ________ | OK | | Cancel | |
=================================
These pop ups occur very often. The following programs detect no problems:
Malwarebytes AVG Kapersky anti virus
There are no entries with the word "facebook" in my registry. There are no files with an name like facebook*.* on the disk drive.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
