Pop-up
When I open firefox, firefox open many small windows. The windows have as 'activate' button. They disappear after a few seconds. How do I get rid of them?

Are you currently using a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution?
A small dialog should appear. Click
Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
I am using the version from the Linux distribution. The windows do not pop-up only when I start. They can pop-up anytime. I cannot provide a picture because the window disappear after a few seconds. I didn't manage to screen capture one yet. It looks more like a malware, rather than a issue coming from firefox.
I'm sorry where is the troubleshoot mode? Is it is settings?
Here, I managed to capture one. They appear in the upper right corner of the screen, and disappear after a few seconds.
Looks like a news feed.
