When I try to view gmail or search something using yahoo.com I get a pop-up window that says the following:

The page at http://news.search.yahoo.com says: 

    !               0

Sometimes I get other numbers and I have to click ok or try to close the pop-up window several times before it finally goes off the screen.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
