How can I completely block CHAT. I never want to see a pop-up inviting me to chat. It's always spam.

Chatting is usually done via a Java applet, so you can try to disable the Java plugin in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and only enable it when you need it.

QuickJava: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1237

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  2. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_13 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
