pop-ups appearing suddenly?
I have checked the box to block pop-ups but it isn't working anymore. I think I just got a firefox update. Anyone else having lots of pop-ups suddenly?

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon {web link} Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon extends the blocking functionality of Adblock Plus to those annoying pop-up windows that open on mouse clicks and other user actions.

I don't know how to do this. And I don't want to pay for anything.
There is no cost. The scanners are free to use. Just install them, and let them work.
