How do I get rid ofpopup VB_MainSite_ButtonsRev_2013.swf
This annoying pop up comes up each and every time I start Firefox. I have www.baynews9.com as a home page and I believe it comes from them. What do I need to do to stop it from running every time?

Does the SWF file (Flash media file) open in a new window and start playing, or in a new tab, or are you getting some kind of pop-up message / error?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
