Blocking animated block sign gif popups in Mozilla Firefox

Hi Greg,

For your Firefox browser I suggest you to use some free, clean pop-up blockers in order to avoid these types of annoying messages.

First of all you can use the build-in functionality of your Firefox browser to block this message.

1. So open your Firefox
2. Go to Preferences, select the Content tab
3. Now here check the “Block pop-up windows”

Now for better “protection” again this window you can install one add-on in Firefox. I suggest you to use Adblock Plus.

You have two options to install this:

1. From Add-On Manager in Firefox (just search for Adblok Plus and click download/install)
2. From the official website (https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox)

I hope this will help you.

Thank you,

Aabel
