    IDK I run adblocker with my ff.........chrome would be my second choice but I think less secure. Are you sure it is your browser causing the popups? I have gotten some ads lately too, I think there are those trying to push the ads/pop-ups working on bypassing the adblocker type software (or finding new host servers not listed in said blocking software) idk. But ads/popups are pretty rare for me, if your getting a lot............

    1. Run Malwarebytes, one of the best detection percentages, kills spybot and adaware.
    2. Uninstall, clear preferences folder, and reinstall firefox.
    3. Install Chrome, it's better anyways.
    Will try 1. and 2. then maybe 3. later
