In my case that is doable with Adblock Plus. Just block that popup with a right click. Or close it, the popup has an "x", it should not come up again if you allow to save cookies on that site IMO.

If you have a few minutes... you could try suppressing that part of the page with a custom style rule. For example:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("www.msn.com") {
  #subfoot {display:none !important}
}

There are two ways to apply that.

(1) A userContent.css file (info on how to create/edit that file in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/949106#answer-404166)

(2) A userstyle in the Stylish extension (info on how to create a rule in Stylish in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/934019#answer-358059)

The above rule also removes the normal search box at the bottom of the screen since it seemed more reliable to target the whole area. If you want to be a bit more surgical, try this rule instead:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("www.msn.com") {
  #ls1, #subfoot > div:nth-of-type(2) {display:none !important}
}

That targets the moving box by its current id (as I see it) and also by its position as the second division in the subfoot (in case the id changes frequently).
