Even though I have pop-ups blocked in Options - for some reason-recently- EVERY link I click on gives me a popup! Help, please!!!!
As stated in my question this just started happening recently. I click on a link in email or on a website and I get pop-ups. They start out looking like firefox popups - but they aren't. Some are for games - others give a list of other web sites to check for the subject of what I have clicked on. This is extremely annoying!!!! What do I do to stop this?

Thank you very much for your time and advice! I was going to uninstall Firefox & try a clean install. When I went to do that I found a program called FREEWORKZ that i HAD NOT installed. That was one of the ads that kept popping up!! Imagine my surprise. I got rid of that & the problem seems to have stopped. I will be using your advice to download the malware programs. Thanks again.
