Flash pop-ups- how can I block them?

I'm getting a lot of these in the past 2 weeks. I scanned for adware etc. with Iobit and Malwarebytes. those and avast all came up clean.
I'm using FF 25.0.1 in W7 pro 64bit. The only thing that stops them is disabling Flash player, but Flash is needed for Youtube etc., games and some uploaders on hosting sites I use.
Most of these ads are for dubious software telling me my computer is slow (joke - it ranked 11th place world rank in one benchmark test), others have intrusive sound effects. All are unwanted.

In Firefox, click Tools_Add-ons (or Ctrl+Shift+A)
Click Get Add-ons.
On the right side, click "See all".
In the search box, type "AdBlock"
Click the green arrow.
Choose the following extensions from the list:
I personally use ALL THREE in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1 as well as OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 & 10.9

HT3255 my MacBook Air and iPhone 5 has been stollen, how can i block them. They were new. Never used.

My MacBook Air and I phone 5 has been stolen, how can I block them. They were new and unused.

If they were "unused", then it is very unlikely that "Find My Mac" or "Find My iPhone" is set up in order to locate, erase and/or remotely disable the systems.
All you are really left with is ordinary law enforcement in order that you report the incident and hope that they surface in that manner.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.

Flash effects and how can i make them...

hello as im new to flash and i never been in a college to learn,thats why im here to ask my friends something!
hello then,i have a discussion on about how can i make a fire or an ice or something like that and put it on a front of a image.
i have a blizzard example as they are so good in web design...here are the site:http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/games/cataclysm/
on this site look at the dragon...he has fire breathing and fires behind him which are raising into the sky...so beatiful!
and now look mine:http://thechapter-kazzak.tk/ is very simple...
i want a white breath or something...i dont know what to type on google about that...Please help me to find a solution...
Thank you for your time and i really apriciate all of your answers!

There are a variety of ways to go about creating effects. YOur best bet at finding how to do them is two-fold...
1) search the internet using terms relative to what you want to learn... something like "Flash fireanimation tutorial" or "AS3 Snow tutorial"
2) invest alot of time and effort at learning how to use Flash
The second is the most important
If you look closely at the first example you point to, you will see that it is all somewhat simple repetitive animation... the smoke repeats and even the tiny specks repeat. So the approach for this one basically takes drawn elements, such as the smoke and the sparks, and just continuously plays them over and over.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I have disabled the pop-up blocker, I've added the site to the exceptions list but pop-ups are still being blocked. I have an email program that requires pop-ups in order to compose an email.

Are you sure that you don't another popup blocker installed?
Like maybe as a feature of a security suite?

At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool. Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
