How can I keep http://www.oyodomo.com from popping up every 10 seconds? It is very annoying.
I have no idea why http://www.oyodomo.com keeps popping up. I have it blocked and it even says so if I look at the page info. However, the window pops up about every 10 seconds and really disturbs anything else that I am doing. It also says I have visited the site and adds to the number each time it pops up. I do not know what the site is, but it also works its way to popping up when I am on a site that will open something in another tab and instead of going to the tab as I am requesting, it will go through this and reach some advertising site, which is different each time it happens completely by accident.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
