I have gone in and set my browser to block pop up windows but 9 out of 10 times when i click on a page or go to open a link i get at least 1 if not more pop up windows everything from online games to advertisements. was wondering if i needed to add another blocker or not?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, 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.

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