How to get rid of pop up's on mozilla firefox?
While the Adlock Plus add-on is very good for blocking ads and pop-ups, and the NoScript add-on is very good for blocking malicious scripts (and active content) - if you are experiencing a great deal of pop-ups (and don't usually), you may be infected with some type of spyware or adware. I would first suggest performing an anti-malware/anti-spyware scan or two. The free versions of SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware are very good and offer full scan and removal capabilities. You can install both as neither of the free versions offer real-time protection and won't clash/conflict with each other - just don't scan with both at the same time! If you have anti-virus software installed, scan with that also. If you don't have AV software, Avast! Home Edition is a very good choice; it offers pretty much everything a commercial AV does - for free! Of course, if you do already have AV, don't install another.

Leave other cookies enabled, as some sites may not function without them. To do this, follow Techy M's instructions (in Firefox, goto Tools > Options > Privacy and ensure 'Accept cookies from sites' is *ticked* and ensure 'Accept third-party cookies' is *un-ticked*).
Of course you can! You can buy Firefox add-ons installs and reviews from specific service provider in the market. However, you have to get reliable service provider whom can provide you with safe and quality installs and reviews.But, why you have to be looking for paid install and review, when you can actually get the review exchange for FREE?But still, you have to get it only from reputable platform. One of the platform that works great for me so far — Give reviews to get free reviews — which i am still using it till this days for their good reputation.Based on my personal experience, i would say that, one of the best quality that the sites should have to be one of the best should be about the safety. As an example, Reviewsub actually providing a feature where you can give and get reviews from real users everywhere.If its real users, it is already an extra point for you to get better exposure and automatically, faster recognition. Of course, it will also help to improve your add-ons ranking by getting high ratings and reviews.Hope it helps. Good Luck!
Assuming you are using windows , Based on this the answer is given.Press the windows-key+r and open: %appdata%in there you should find a folder named "Mozilla". try renaming it to something like "Mozilla.bak" (or delete it if you don't care for your old firefox bookmarks, passwords and customisations) and then try to start firefox again....
You mentioned an old blocker - make sure to update it, or install another one.Also, you can try a more effective way of removing annoying ads - deleting them via Safe Mode (with Networking). To do that:Turn on / Restart your computer and press the F8 key repeatedly, until the Advanced Boot Options screen appears.Move the arrow button(s) on the keyboard to highlight Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter;Now we are getting to the interesting part - Open a web browser and download an anti-virus/malware software (e.g. Avira, Malwarebytes’, Superantispyware, etc.) install it and let it full-scan your computer.If a virus/malware has been detected, delete it (don’t restart the computer yet).Open Mozilla, and click the three horizontal parallel lines in the upper right side of the browser window.Select Add-ons and then ExtensionsClick the Remove button next to the add-on you want to removeRestart the computer.Once the computer turns on, the ads should disappear.Source: Don't know how to remove browser extensions (Mozilla Firefox)
Where are firefox extensions stored? READ DETAILS :)?
Ok so i recently switched to firefox b/c my favorite browsers new version is too unstable at the moment. I started using firefox and noticed right away how much it horribly sucked and how much i missed all of the things my browser normally does. Then I learned about the firefox extensions or add-ons. So I started looking up all the things that my browser normally does to add to firefox so I could have a more enjoyable experiance with it while I have it. One of the things I must have when browsing is the ability to minimize and close the browser to the systray. There is only a single extension that works with the current firefox version that does that. It was called Boss Key or something. I started noticing my W key on my keyboard stopped working after i installed the extension, instead of typing W it would open and close firefox(which is horrible? ?) so i went into the options of Boss Key and set the Boss Key's to blank(i figured it would just make it so no key turned boss mode on). Turns out now every time i start firefox it thinks im pushing (blank) so boss mode never turns off and I can never see firefox except for the instant it opens then vanishes. So now I am in search of where firefox stores its extensions so i can delete Boss Key so i can get it back and use the browser. P.S. I am also looking for a extension that will only allow 1 instance of firefox to be open at a time.( I found "Singleton fox" but it doesn't work very well) Thanks everyone.
How do I stop ALL pop-ups using Firefox?
I have checked the tools option on FireFox (latest version) to block pop-ups, however, there are still some pop-ups that, well, they pop-up. I am not interested in on-line casino's, adult sites, or on-line buying websites, but there are some that still pop-up. One of the on-line casino pages is a pain in the "A" on my old lap top and causes it to crash because it hogs so much of the processor. It seems there is no way of knowing what sites will have a pop-up attached. Some of the most obscure sites that have nothing to do with the pages that pop-up seem to 'host' them. I was opening a page on cryptozoology and I got a pop-up for an online casino. I cancel that, then I get a pop-up trying to sell me 'smilies' for emails and bulletin boards. I run the best recommended anti-malware software and anti-adware, but it seems some software writers /web site hosts seem to know how to by-pass fiorefox built in pop-up blocker. I have done some google searches but am yet to find any add-on's or the likes that can stop the pop-ups forever. I am sick of them. HELP !!
Firefox has so many adblockers. If you know how to install add-on on firefox then try to install AdBlocker ultimate.
I believe you can use an older version of Firefox. As long as you don't update Firefox, the extension should work. You may follow the link below or search for older versions online.Old Version of Firefox 3.6.11 Download - OldApps.comDo let me know if this does not work, and will try to look for an alternate. Considering that Firesheep is quite old, I think this would be a sufficient solution.FYI: Firesheep was created in 2010. Prior to HTTPS implementation. Majority of the websites have plugged the loophole exposed by Firesheep. It is mostly irrelevant in today's world. You could search for other alternatives if you really must hijack sessions.
You can use Pop-up Blocker addons on Firefox or you can follow the instructions given by Firefox to block pop-ups.Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting Pop-up blocker settingsTo access the pop-up blocker settings:Click the menu button and choose Options.Select the Content panel.In the Content panel below Pop-ups:Uncheck the box next to Block pop-up windows to disable the pop-up blocker altogether.
