Thanks for the rundown. Just tried both links in Firefox (as the kitchen laptop I'm on doesn't have Waterfox); the first link brought up the error message sans survey, while the second went to the web page, sans survey. I'll try both again in Waterfox (and check its version number then) once I'm back on my personal laptop, probably later on tonight.
I would've suggested disabling add-ons to test things out, too, but if it's not happening now then there's probably no point. Short of that, I might also try googling the names of said add-ons to see if anyone else has complained of adware or other malware being attached to them, but if the issue doesn't come up again then there's probably no need.
(Sometimes, it occurs to me, I can find strange things by checking about:config - so for this one I might type "redirect" or "popup" or similar into the about:config search box to see what comes up. I've found some odd/surprising stuff just by looking through it.)
