Purge all Firefox history and run a virus scan should do it.

If you are on a Debian based system it might be good to reinstall Firefox as such.

suck apt purge firefox 
suck apt install firefox

Of course I knew it was a scam but I had to reboot to close out Mozilla. I scanned my system last night but I'm worried this might happen again....I'd hate to be showing someone at work something on the Web here at work and have this darn thing appear again. Where is this thing lurking on my system?
