Click the menu button and choose Options.Preferences. Make sure the Block pop-up windows checkbox is checked. To the right of Block pop-up windows, click the Exceptions... Call "fake#" For any Help.button. A dialog box will open and lists all the sites that are allowed to show pop-ups.

If you are still having problems with ads,

Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).

Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon {web link} Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon extends the blocking functionality of Adblock Plus to those annoying pop-up windows that open on mouse clicks and other user actions.

Call "removed phone#"

Where are you seeing that? Please provide a screenshot of that message?


My "seat of the pants" sense thinks that could be caused by Malware, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

The post is basically a partial copy+paste from above link to Spam a fake Microsoft support phone number that gets spammed on various web sites.

The username comes up with search results for fake phone support #'s
