Not happening to me, but you could add adgardner.com to your hosts file with
a 127.0.0.1 address. It probably wouldn't stop the popups but they would at
least be empty.

Check FF for any undesired add-ons.

Run a full AV scan, not just anti-ad/spyware. Try yours or a free scan from

Is anyone else having issues with pop up windows going to adgardener.com?

I'm using Firefox and have all the ad blockers and pop up blockers
active, and usually don't have any popup issues except for the
occasional netflix popup. I have them open in a new tab instead of a
window.

Earlier this week, I had a problem - the browser would spawn 4 or 5
tabs, all to addresses such as

http://harvest577.adgardener.com/....
http://harvest578.adgardener.com/....
http://harvest579.adgardener.com/....

with each tab having a different number next to harvest. The contents
of each tab are blank. I close the tabs, but about every 5 minutes,
they return. I close Firefox and delete cookies, but they still come
back the next time I fire it up.

I ran ccleaner, adaware and spybot and one of them fixed the problem,
but now they're back.

They seem to spawn automatically - I'm not browsing at the time - so
it seems to be a timed thing.

thanks,

Rick
