I can't reproduce it, try safe mode.

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

If you can't fix it with the above listed scanners then you need to ask advise on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.

I think it is a bug in firefox.

Mozilla has to come up with an upgrade which will prevent these type of attacks.
