ever site I go to a pop up window opens and tells me it blocked a pop up. Want this stopped.
A popup Always opens when I open a new window. I have the POPUP blocker set and it does not matter because they continue to come up. I have reviewed all the options and still no resolution to this problem. It seems to have only started on this new version of Firefox. I was trying to do a print screen so you can see what the problem is but it does not work.

It would be useful to know what the pop-up says, and how it looks. You could attach a screen shot to a reply. There is form to Add images just below the text box where you compose your post.
When Firefox blocks a popup, usually it will tell you in an infobar just below the toolbars, not in a separate window. If you are getting a separate window, that's probably coming from some other source.
One possible culprit is an out-of-date add-on that isn't fully compatible with the latest version of Firefox. You can update add-ons here:
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons
Click the "gear" icon and choose Check for Updates.
Any luck?
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
