I have Firefox 57.0.1 running on a Fedora-26 workstation. Each day, I go to indeed.com to search for a job (I've been jobless for over 3 years now). I always get a pop-up after entering my first search; see attached screen capture. I did check my preferences. I do have them set to block pop-ups, and there is no exception for indeed.com. What else do I need to do, or what do I need to do differently? If I should submit a bug, please give me the URL for the place to do that.

Thank-you. Bill.

Is not a Firefox issue, is not a bug. Websites are using scripts to get around adblockers and pop-ups on all sites are happening. Note : It can break the usage of a site : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I agree. However, there are some ad blockers that can block elements on a web page.

Thank-you, Pkshadow and FredMcD.

Pkshadow: I examined the noscript site you referenced. I don't see the point you're making with "Note : It can break the usage of a site : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/".

FredMcD: I know almost nothing about "elements" involved in pop-ups. What elements need to be blocked? What add-on do you recommend?

I don't know that site, and the blocker I use doesn't,t work with v57.
