I have a blank pop-up that shows up when I start firefox. It doesn't blocks me from using my browser. What can I do to remove it?

I have run a virus scan, and there were no viruses or bugs found. I have uninstalled Foxfire, restarted my computer, and then reinstalled Foxfire again. This window continues to keep coming up and blocks me from using the web browser. What else can I do to get rid of it?

hi Suiki71, maybe this is caused by the aol toolbar - for a solution see this similar question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050719

This is a picture f the pop-up. I can't close it, and I can use my browser because I can't get rid of it!
