    Those pop-ups still happen in Firefox only?

    It seems like it, although I don't really use any other browser enough to know 100%. I reinstalled firefox twice already before >.>

    This has been tremendously long thread. We ran countless scans and they all come up clean.
    I see no single reason for pop-ups.

    I suggest this...
    Back up whatever you want from Firefox, like bookmarks.
    Remove Firefox completely, following this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox?
    I mean completely. All steps listed there.
    Install fresh copy.
    Do NOT use any of you backups yet.
    With totally clean Firefox copy, see, if you'll get pop-ups.

    That didn't work, but I had my computer completely wiped so I there isn't a problem anymore.
