Why do you NOT have a "Block this site" button? and Why do you still ALLOW redirects/Pop Ups and "Do you want to leave this page" when exiting pesky sites?

hello recolindres, you appear to have adware present on your system that might be responsible for those uncalled popups. please perform all these steps:

  1. reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
