I can't remember changing any setting or visiting any suspicious sites. These are ads for 'reputable' outfits like Target, Home Depot, etc.

Anyway, what was blocking them before? Or, put another way, anybody know a good popup blocker for Android?

Moto X smartphone running Android 4.4

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Type about:config on your address bar and then search for dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false and this would block pop-ups.
