Popupsads always appear in left upper screen corner, Firefox ver 17 - "http://techblog4uonly.blogspot.com - Laura's Computing Blog - Mozilla Firefox"
Ad popups appear in the uppermost left-hand corner of the desktop screen every time I start Mozilla Release 17.0 and are blocked from redirecting me to another website. The source address of each is, as the subject states: http://techblog4uonly.blogspot.com - Laura's Blog - Mozilla Firefox.
These do not close until Firefox closes, and then sometimes persist until I use Task Manager to force them closed. Going to the site blogspot.com takes me to https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=blogger&passive=1209600&continue=http://www.blogger.com/home&followup=http://www.blogger.com/home<mpl=start#s01 The site http://techblog4uonly.blogspot.com takes me to Laura's Blog, and her address is [email protected]. I do not recall giving Laura Polock permission to embed script on my home computer. I don't find a way to gracefully put this, but if she is not generating ad revenue by desk-spam, then who is? If she has been hijacked, then who better to tell her than the community she hopes to serve with identity protection - and that is one of her offers.

I did update Firefox and am running ver 21, but those popups keep occurring. I can select to close the popup ads, but how is LaurasBlog able to do these popup ads? She is doing this from her Google account.
It could be she got to your hame page option. Firefox option > General. Check it out. You should run your virus protection, just in case. Also check the add on site for add bloking add-ons. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
If this happens to on Firefox, please remove the following add-ons, If you installed any:
- Play Piano
- Play Music
- Test Your memory
- Play Music
- Web Server
- Super Paste
In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
- From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select Add-ons, or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the Tools menu and click Add-ons.
- Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
- You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
- To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
- Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the Restart now link in the message.
