How to deal with random popups
I hit a website a while back that spawned a bunch of pop-ups, none of which were blocked despite block all pop-ups being the default setting. Now one just randomly appeared, but I don't know that it is connected to anything I click on. Is this some sort of cookies exploit as I'm trying to work out how they are still around to come back again.

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.
Thanks. I'm not sure I want to block all ads as a lot of sites will block you viewing their content if you have an ad blocker installed. Are these classic pop-ups I'm seeing or something else? I'm still trying to work out how they remain in the background and then just appear randomly. They must be stored somewhere.

Most ad blockers have an option to be disabled on sites you choose.
Most ads come from or through the web site. But there are also ads from ad/malware.
