If you're not browsing with an adblocker installed, then this complaint is basically moot: it's 2019, the ad-free internet died years ago; use a decent adblocker.
If they show up even with that active, though, now you have a valid complaint.

- gknoy 7y agoWhile this is common on desktop, do you have suggestions for how to do this on mobile?
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoFirefox mobile supports extensions, including ublock origin (and umatrix, if you're into that).
- jolmg 7y agoI have uBlock Origin on, and the popup did appear. Maybe it wasn't an ad. I don't really know because I closed it reflexively.
- mgalgs 7y agoIt was some kind of mailing list solicitation from the author (I actually didn't even bother reading it, just frantically closed it as quickly as possible), so not blocked by an ad blocker. I'm running ad blockers and pihole and I still saw it.
