In firefox you have option to block pop-up windows. Go to preferences,
it is under content. And install some add blocker. For me, best is :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
You can also install script blocker, like this one:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=ss
With all that on, you will be pretty safe against pop-ups.
