Every day I get some spam web sites for example: pc.error6966994368ademscomboclf0723.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com pc.error6966993598ademscomboclf0723.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com fffilechecker.com ffruntimechecker.com pc.error6969003171ademscomboclf0727.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com www.winhelpall.club pc.error222234312311ademscomboclf0729.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com pc.error222234316365ademscomboclf0729.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com These sites bring an login-dialog and you can't abort.

It is not possible these tabs to close. I must kill firefox in task manager. Please add the possibility to close such tabs.

Some have reported pressing the <Esc> key repeatedly helps.

A way out of a trap page is to (force it if needed) Close Firefox. Wait about 20 seconds for Firefox to finish closing. Right-click on the Firefox icon and select Open New Window. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sometimes this works. If it opens, close it by Menu > File > Exit. This will flush out that web page from the Session Store.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.
