Tricked by "SHOP" popup when making a purchase using Firefox

I was making a purchase with a new company in the UK, in the checkout a popup "SHOP" opened claiming to check it was me by sending a code to my phone which I then entered thinking it was from the company I was buying from. The popup then entered my details, from a purchase in a another company in New Zealand into the form including a NZ delivery address . I deleted this but the account was created with the wrong name .

I have phoned the company they say that they do not use any popups and the problem must be in the Firefox browser, how do I find this popup software and disable it.

You'd have to consult your history entries for any site location open at the time of the purchase and coming from a host you don't think is legitimately linked to the vendors or the payment methods you have used.

I understand what you might have encountered was a payment flow from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_Pay that operate the platform of the ecommerce site?
