I've have tried researching it online but I just hear the same things over and over and they are helping. The popups are coming from Firefox and say Firefox in the corner. How do I get rid of them? I've been really happy with Firefox until now.

hello, you have various adware addons installed, that might cause this. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
