Hello brodattaway,
Thank you for posting on Mozilla Support. We value and appreciate you as a user.
You must have something installed causing it to pop up everytime. Is this SweetIM?
I would also like to advise you to check your computer for malware; See below.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Microsoft Security Essentials (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
