WHY do I continue to get popups? I have my computer set for NO popups.
This started during the last update. I continue SKIP updates but continue getting Popups. One is Mozilla Bidz, another Mozilla Freescore.
Help!! I want NO popups. I just delete them.

Those aren't coming from Mozilla, you probably picked up some Malware which is causing those pop-ups.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.) They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
