Firefox Problem - help needed

Hi - a popup keeps appearing on Firefox that I can't get rid of - see photo below.

I have googled Value Apps but get no luck - anybody know how to get rid of this.

Have you tried the Adlboc Plus extension ?

I suspect it's an Add-on that's 'got in' somewhere. Go to tools and add-ons, then see if there is anything listed that shouldn't be there.

Have tried shutting all all strange extensions and plugins with no success - also tried Adbloc plus - it's still there

Firefox Popup - the cure!!!!

Solved problem - found out accidentally that when I start Firefox from the icon in the task bar at the bottom of the desktop the popup appears but if I start FF from the shortcut it doesn't appear so to cure problem I just deleted the shortcut in the task bar.

I would be interested to know how that happens!

It's a shame you deleted it, otherwise we could have looked at the details of the shortcut and where it is pointing to. The capability for that thing to show up on your screen is still there, you've only removed one path to it.

I will bare that in mind if ever it appears again - at least I now know where to look if it does .
