That seems unusually dramatic. I think I just get an infobar below the toolbar area when Firefox blocks a pop-up. The infobar has a button which has a few choices and shows the URL of the popup. Do you see that at all?

I should have asked about the shaking: is this from side to side or vertically? If it's vertical, perhaps your "smooth scrolling" is glitchy. Have you noticed any issues with scrolling? You could try turning off that feature here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General
