I just got a new computer with Win 8.1 and whenever I open firefox, I get dozens of pop-up windows.

I disabled this popup option in the options. Why is this happening? They are all over the screen, a few small pop-up windows and others are full-size Firefox. It's driving me crazy. It doesn't happen when I use Chrome. But I don't like Chrome. I'm on Firefox 31.0

Hi babrown, if you are not sure that your Firefox is a clean version, you can replace your program files without disturbing your settings by using this procedure to clean reinstall :

(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 31 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

(2) the release of Firefox.

(3) to rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

If all goes well, then you can be easier.

Note: Some plugins recently installed can exist only in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
