Hi, after the new firefox update i got yesterday i've been attaced by pop-ups ALL the time, even trusted sites i'm visiting daily. Whats wrong? The pop-up blocker settings are activated, i cant't even surf for a minute without 2 or 3 pop-ups bothering me. I've cleaned my pc and it didn't help. Thanks.

Ah, I see something...

HD Streamer is adware. I see it in your Extensions list. It's usually in the C:\Program Files\HD Streamer\ directory along with two other .exes

  • C:\Program Files\HD Streamer\uninstall.exe
  • C:\Program Files\HD Streamer\HD Streamer.exe

It's ridiculously easy to get rid of this. Two steps

  1. Uninstall HD Streamer from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
  2. Uninstall the extension from Firefox (Go to The image "new fx menu" does not exist. > Addons > Extensions

I noticed your System Details looks very light/empty. Can you give us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting.

  • Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.

Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
  • Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

Usually they're installed when you downloaded something that's 3rd party such as UTorrent or something similar and it's bundled with something.

Glad you got that working, though!
