Inactivate pop-up window panes

How can I inactivate those blasted pop-up window panes on GunBroker. When I cruise on the auction pages these hateful window panes pop up advertising gun parts and even items of jewelry. I don't want to see that stuff. And when the pop-up window pane is loading it interfers with the main window that I am looking at. I consider these pop-up window panes to be junk mail, and I don't want, need, nor read junk mail. [:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]

I sense some frustration on your side. Did I not make myself clear? Don

They forgo the FireFox pop up blocker.
The fix- Identify the Firefox App/add on in "Tools" and remove it.
I just went this rout and it was a PINTB.[8D]
I have ESET NOD32 and it does a great job. Also I have Malware. I only get these pop-up windows when I am looking at GunBroker auction sites. The pop-ups advertise gun parts and gun related stuff, but tonight there was a woman's ring in one of the pop-ups. GunBroker auction side is the only time I get these pop-ups.
It is called malware and your browser is infected. It has nothing to do with GunBroker other than the ads that it is displaying are targeting our customer base. Please make a note of the ads that you do see and take a screen shot if you can (hit Alt and PrintScrn) then paste that into an email to security @ gunbroker.com
I went on the GB auction site and put in a search on item 203888344, which is a Marlin 1895 CB rifle. Immediately a pop-up pan came on advertising something from a camera shop that had "Marlin" in the item name. I could find no way to capture the little window pane to attach to this here email. From experience with these pop-up window panes on GunBroker, I click the "X" to get rid of the pane and all will be OK for several minutes. Then another pane will pop-up usually with some gun parts advertising. However, depending on what I am looking at on the screen, a pane may pop up advertising a book, item of jewelry, an item of clothing, and so on. In the case that I am talking about this morning, the word "Marlin" appears to be the key word, because it caused the pop-up pane with "Marlin" in the title associated with a camera. Often, in the past, if I am looking around at Winchester auctions I will get a pop-up pane advertising a Winchester lever action handle, like a large ring cowboy thing.
I don't know what it is, guys. Malware and ESET says my computer is not infected with anything. This only happens when I am on the GB auction side, not on the Forums side. There is a gremlin in here that I don't understand. [:(!]

R U surfing any particular catagory or is it happening in all cats?
If in all cats then you need to check your system for pop-up status.
I'm not on auction side much and either signed in/out I'm not having your problems.

Download Microsoft Security Essentials (free), update it and run it. Delete what it finds. Good software.
I logged out, logged back in and tried this again. This time a different pop-up window pane appeared, again powered by PriceGong, and it was advertising a camera device.
Whatever is going on with this thing, is definitely happening. I am amazed that no one else has this problem, and that my anti-virus and malware programs are not catching any infection. [?]
It's green
Here is how to get rid of it:

IDENTIFY THE ADD SITE< IT IS IN THE POP UP WINDOW, IE ABC.COM. It will show up some place on the screen.
Once you find it, Go to tools plug ins and delete it.
