I hate all these different popups or redirection ads that appear all the time and how do i stop them?
I am new to firefox and now when i want to go to a web page, It starts out fine but then the browser takes me somewhere else by way of redirection or possible pop ups that appear like a windows alert. They do not always appear in the same way. The same web pages keep coming when i want to go somewhere else. PLEASE HELP!!!

The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Make sure the Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting setting is checked in the Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages but I suspect the problem is malware. See Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
