How do I get rid up Firefox Pop ups. You tell me how to identify them but don't say how I can remove them.
I do not want to see the Firefox pop ups. How do I get rid of these pop ups?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Norton utilities says this site http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked is not save to access. Now What - Need a better solution.
Norton is wrong about that. There is nothing wrong with the MozillaZine site and the MozillaZine Knowledge Base and you can ignore a warning in this case.
You can try to use the Google cache (prefix links with cache:) to see if Google subjects about that as well.
I tried to get to the http//mozillazine.org/popups_not_blocked site. I got the following message - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
Now what do I do?
Make sure to use the correct URL and protocol.
I got to the web site. The solutions are beyond my level. I don't want to do some thing that would ruin my whole system. I'll just live with it. Thanks for your help. I hope in some further release you have an easier way to eliminate these pop-ups.
