Nothing on Firefox for Android. Sure it's the ads, and not some malicious auto-installing Chrome add-on? I have to clean those off of my buddy's Windows laptop.

It's mobile Chrome. I don't have any add-ons on mobile.

Using FF 61.0.2 with AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin. Stop the assault or kill the website's revenue stream. That's a toughy. :cool:

It's not redirecting to a warning about my video player being out of date.

Just experienced the same thing on my PC, Windows 7 with Firefox 61.0.1 but saying I have been "selected to receive a free $1,000 Walmart Gift Card". Here are the complete URLs I was redirected to (within the same tab as Anandtech Forums) in chronological order:

I have no add-ons or plugins installed in Firefox except for the default installed by Mozilla. Malwarebytes reveals no PUPs.

AFAIK, only MB Premium handles PUPs as malware based on user choice.
Also, it looks like Chrome is complicit as well.

Yes it detects them, but does not treat them as malware.

I keep getting them on my ipad. The only way to close them or to do ANYTHING in Chrome is to click on the pop-up box.
