My pop up blocker is on,but I continually get pop ups. (The type that flash,and talk. ) Certain websites seem to revert back to HTML mode/act like my java is turned off. In the middle of loading,Firefox will lock up for 30 seconds or more,then resume loading.

Can someone help me with this,please?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
