Pop ups from Flash Player?

I installed Flash Player and now I have unwanted pop-ups!!! How do I get rid of them?

They DON'T come from Flash Player.
They come from "adware" and the adware uses Flash Player to display the popups (sometimes).
You need to run a thorough system scan.

Prevent pop ups from opening in safari

Despite I prevented pop ups from opening in Safari in preferences; they still keep popping up. I installed two add block extensions but in-vain.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Constantly getting pop-ups from Itunes!

Constantly getting pop-ups from Itunes!

What do the pop-ups look like and where do you see them, could they be some other application?
If you haven't already, update iTunes. Also, remove any old iTunes plug-ins.

Pop Ups from Presentations

Why does ALBPM not allow POP-UPS from presentations.
I tried displaying a message using the DISPLAY statement inside of a presentation when a user clicks SUBMIT, the method is invoked.
But since this was a pop-up, ALBPM gave me a Component Execution Exception with the following reason:-
Reason: 'Cannot invoke an interactive component method from a BPM Object presentation.

You can use the "showError" and "showWarning" statements to display information from a BPM Object Presentation.
For example, you might have a field with an "on change invoke" method assigned. You could then create logic like that shown below in a method in the BPM Object. This method cannot have the property "Server Side Method" set to true.
if this.number = 0 then
showError this
using error = "The number must be greater than 0."
end
Both showError and showWarning take a string as the only parameter. What's nice about this is that it will show the warning or error inside (default is the bottom) of the presentation. This avoids the ugliness of popups.
As a side note - beware of using "display" and "input" statements in logic. When not invoked from a screenflow, they tie up a thread as long as the end user has the display or input screen up.

I can allow pop-ups from certain sites in Tools/Settings, why then can I not also block pop-ups from certain sites since Firefox doesn't always manage to block them?

Whenever I visit, for instance, merriam-webster.com an ad from groupon invariably pops up in a new window.
OK, so Firefox does not manage to block it although I have this option checked in Tools/Settings/Content.
But why can I not enter the URL of the groupon ad and manually block it?
I can allow pop-ups from sites of my choice in Tools/Settings/Content, I think I should also be able to block sites?

The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?"
The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts. I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

I keep getting pop ups from spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else.

I keep getting pop ups from your spyware advertisers wanting me to purchase spyware. they won't go away or allow me to do anything else. It is extremely annoying.

Mozilla Firefox does '''not''' support/endorse/encourage spyware advertisers.
If you think these popups are from spyware advertisers, you should try to scan and remove the spyware from your system. This article has more information on how to do that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Spyware_on_Windows Spyware on Windows].
In future, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus Adblock Plus add-on] to block such ads.

How to remove pop ups and flash mall ads

When I follow the first step of the instructions from Linc Davis on how to get rid of pop ups flash mall on how to get rid of pop ups flash mall
I find the following at ~/Library/LaunchAgents:
com.extensions.updater67619.agent.plist

com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.backupstart.plist
com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.notify.plist
com.webtools.update.agent.plist

Should I delete all these files???

Only remove the ones Linc listed; if doing so doesn't remove the adware, keep only the items relating to software you'd like on the computer. Mac OS X doesn't itself put any files in it.
