One of the reason I use and recommend to others to your sites is that very very few pop ups and advertisement did not hinder ones website searches lately even the sites I commonly are inundated with pop us join this use that it's to the point that I am seriously think of looking for a new browser and leave Firefox and remove it from my phone lately I can't even sync up any more by the way, also not using it it on my business computers your answer to these questions are eagerly awaiting a resolution

Thank you for your time

hello Vantabus, frequent pop-ups might be a sign of adware/malware that is active on your system. please try these steps:

  1. reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page
