You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

thanks, i have a kasperky i scan at least once a week, i don't think is a malware, but a scam website with the log in spamming just to annoy/ scare and/or scare the user. I just want to know if Mozilla has any option to prevent this type of login to pop up or at least to block it from certain sites.
