Adware Issue?
I turn on my computer today and go onto the Globe and Mail on Firefox as I always do every day to check my investment stocks. Then the below shows up. It only happens on Firefox and only on the specific link site that I bookmarked. I try the same page on chrome, no issues.
I tried Eset and Adware antivirus and still picks up nothing. I even did a system restore to earlier point in time, still issue. What gives? Any thoughts guys? Not much information from google I could find. Stupid thing keeps popping up...

It seems like your browser was hijacked by some adware.
Try install and run Malwarebytes:
