Maybe you could give us a chance to figure out what's going on and give us public link to that website ? What does that popup say ?

These are the cookies that I found on this. They are always something stupid. I do not have the pop-up actual pop-up anymore till it shows up again but basically they are from a company that says go to this site to get $75 for answering our survey. I never go to the site because it is a scam - I have had these show up before and finally managed to some how stop getting them but now they are back again - once before it was for Time Warner I don't know / remember this one but its coming up regularly now every few days - it pops up behind the page I'm working on and really slows down my computer till I notice if and close it out.
THESE ARE SUPER ANNOYING as they are unwanted and no apparent easy way to get rid of them. They are a nuisance that serve no purpose other than to scam and annoy.

I wish that Firefox just had a way SURELY IT IS POSSIBLE to enter these things and block them - theres a place to add exceptions (include a site you DON'T WANT BLOCKED but nothing to add one you do want blocked) But even if you want all sites blocked no exceptions it doesn't stop them so this blocking thing from Firefox does not work. i GO THRU AND CHANGE ALL THE DEFAULTS, DO NOT STORE COOKIES, ETC. WHICH is a pain but then they just show up again changed just slightly.
