pop ups and junk ad tabs open while using the browser
in the last week or so anytime I click on a page a new tab will open with junk ads or a popup will come up on the screen and block content. They can be closed and deleted but it happens continually no matter what settings I have or preferences set. I have pop up blocker toggled in the settings and I have a Mozilla ad blocker but it is not working. Please help! this is really annoying!

Hi Cheri,
When you say you have a Mozilla ad blocker, can you explain what do you mean by that?
Hi Kiki I mean that I have the standard level of protection set in the preferences and I have the block pop ups checked as well. I also have the Privacy Badger and the Browsing safely plug ins/add ons as recommended by Firefox/Mozilla.
Whenever I click on a page it opens another junk tab. Easily deleted but annoying. this just started happening about 2 weeks ago or so. thanks,
That usually happens to me when I access a seriously ads heavy site. Just to be clear, are you experiencing this just on a certain website?
it doesn't matter where I'm using or what site its on, it happens on every site. If not a full on extra window/tab ad opening then some other banner will appear over text. This is new (within the last month) and has never happened before. This is one of the reasons I use Firefox was to control ads & popup windows/tabs but if this continues I'm going to have to switch to Chrome or some other browser as its is ENDLESSLY ANNOYING.
