Running latest Firefox in Win7 Pro and getting unwanted popups on startup. How do I stop and prevent?

This annoying pop-up has three blocks within the popup window. They change automatically from "build a better body", "find the girl for you", and other similar nonsense.

It occurs when I turn on my PC each morning, and stays there until I turn it off.

When I search for something, this pop-up is covered by what ever screen comes up as a result of the search, but when I'm done on the internet, my default screen comes up and there it is again.

How do I remove it permanently, and how do I prevent future pop-ups from sitting on my PC?

Thanks very much.

hello, please try to reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords) & also 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.
