    In recent weeks, I have been seeing data:text/html;base64 popups when clicking on some web pages.
    I mainly use Firefox, and it is clean. I also have ABP installed.

    Does anyone know how to block these annoying popups?

    This is a "newer" ABP-Issue.
    mentioned there:
    According to this issue, uBlockO should be able to block this, but not ABP.

    Thanks for the info, guys.
    data:text/html;base64 popups are becoming more common.

    I guess they are fighting back against the Ad blockers.
