Every time I boot and start browsing in my Mac Book Pro, a Mackeeper pop up opens behind the opened window. When I right-click tray icon or minimize opened window, that [pop up window appears, and it locks up Firefox when I try to close it. I need to restart FF to close pop up.

Please consider uninstalling it http://www.macworld.com/article/28614.../how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-from-your-mac.html however inorder to block pop ups that are not blocked by Firefox you can check out some of the blockers offered in add ons. No script is one.

Is this coming up in it's own window, or Firefox?
