Why I am getting the advertisements even though I blocked the "Bop ups" in Ver 36.0 Firefox?

I have checked the box "Block bop ups" in the Firefox Version 36.0, but still getting all the advertisements and I don't have any control to turn them off. But it was not the case in the previous version Firefox 34.0. Can anyone help me on this. Thanks.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
  2. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  3. finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
