Turn off Java and visit the page again. I suspect it then won't load. Or try NoScript. It's just a rouge site. Its most likely sitting in your browser cache.

This isn't a message from Firefox. It's a scam.
This, like many similar popups, is probably caused by malware on your computer. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller (for more info, see this alternate TDSSKiller download page)
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Hope this helps.
Thanks - as indicated have used a selection of AV / Malware software from Bleeping computers with no obvious success - happy to try the ones I haven't - will keep you posted. RUN THRO ALL SUGGESTED SOFTWARE _ COMPUTER CLEAN

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad blocker.

Not sure which you consider "good", but I use Ghostery, ABP, & AdBlock. Any other recommendations? Thanks
