Why can't I stop the pop ups?

For the past week, I've been overrun with pop ups and tabs opening on Firefox. Every time I click on anything-bam, bam, bam-6-8-10 tabs open all at once, along with dozens of pop ups-enough to completely cover the screen. All this happens in just a couple seconds, and Firefox has become useless to me. I close them out and click on anything-it all happens again. Usually when I try to download pop-up blockers, Firefox crashes; like it's fighting me. When I finally do get a blocker downloaded and installed, it does nothing to help (I've tried several). My anti-virus is active (Bitdefender). In "tools"-"Options", the pop-up blocker is checked. I have worked on this for hours the past few days.
Please don't just tell me to do "this"-I need you to tell me 'how' to do what you need me to do.
Thanks.

  • How do I stop the pop-ups that happen every 5 minutes since I updated firefox P.S. firefox is the one that they come from

    normally the firefox browser stops all pop-ups because of the add blocker I have but lately videos and even a new window will pop-up and It will usually play or advertise so I installed another add blocker and they still get thru so the only way they can get thru is ether they are well programed adds or firefox can't block them a/o supports these pop-ups themselves some info would be nice

  • I cannot stop the pop-ups

    I have uninstalled Mozilla, reinstalled it, run malware detection programs, the whole bit, no matter what I do I cannot stop the pop-up ads. I don't have this problem with IE but Mozilla is what I prefer. If I can't stop them I am just going top uninstall one more time and leave it that way. NO technical support provided for this makes it even worse. Does anybody have any ideas??

    Try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode], sometimes the problem is a addon, in safe mode firefox disable some addons.
    Or get a ad block addon:
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/search/?q=ad&appver=26.0&platform=windows Search for Ad ]

  • I have been getting a lot of pop ups since I have upgraded to lion. How do I stop the pop ups?

    I have been getting a lot of pop ups every time I get on the internet and especially if I do any kind of searches.  I never used to get any on my mac and now all of a sudden, since I upgraded to OSX Lion 10.7.4 I am getting them every time. This is making me sick! I got a mac so I would never have to deal with this stuff...
    How do I get rid of them?

  • I use MacIntosh, system 10.5.8. But I keep getting pop-ups . I have tried to install Firefox and it responds saying it is not compatible with my systems architecture. What should I do to stop the pop-up?

    I use G4 MacIntosh, System 10.5.8. I keep getting pop-ups asking me to upgrade my version of Firefox. But when I try to install I get the message that Firefox cannot operate with my computers architecture. How can I stop the pop-ups?

    I believe Firefox 4 is Intel only. That means it will not install on a PPC Mac. You can get TenFourFox, which is made for PPCs.

  • Itunes page pops up continually on the pc since we added a second ipod. how do I stop the pop up? help/ to the same pc

    itunes page pops up continually on my windows Vista pc since we added a second ipod and sync it to the same pc. How do I stop the pop ups??

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

  • 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?

  • It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes gift card that i redeemed, but when i buy a song my billing info pops up. Why can't I use the money?

    It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes card that i redeemed, but when i try to buy a song, the billing info. pops up. Why can't i use the money on my card?

    It is simply asking you to verify your account info. Select None for the CC.
    It will still pay with your gift card balance.

  • Firefox is preventing photographs/pictures from appearing because it considers them as "pop-ups". How can I overrule the pop ups ban?

    Firefox is preventing photographs and pictures from being displayed because it considers them to be pop-ups. I have turned off the pop-ups blocker on my security system but this did not help. There is a difference between annoying commercial or informational pop-ups and photographs and pictures that appear automatically from many web sites. How can I overrule this unwanted pop-up blocking effect?

    It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.popup_maximum
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

    Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

    How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
    Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
    Select the add-on you wish to disable.
    Click the Disable button.
    Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

  • I am using Greasemonkey extension to play Kingdoms of Camelot and today the pop-ups used to ask other members for help are so far to the right that they can't be used.

    When I first signed on the page kept refreshing every 3-4 seconds. Another player gave me some URLs to download and it fixed that problem but now the pop-ups that are part of the game are loading halfway off the page to the right and the advertisement section on the right is significantly wider.

    You might want to use the discussions tab for that script so the author can assist with the issue. I'm not sure which script it is -- this Google search retrieves over 1000 results!

  • Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

    Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
    Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

    Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
    If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
    If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area  -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
    Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users
    For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users
