Q: Received annoying pop up "There is no application set to open the URL moat-bridge:gvr:MoatSuperV22._i_.b.u."
While I was browsing bleacherreport.com on Safari 9.1 on my Macbook Air Yosemite (10.10.5), I received this strange pop up window that read:
"There is no application set to open the URL moat-bridge:gvr:MoatSuperV22._i_.b.u."
Eight more windows with the same message popped up in succession. I restarted my Macbook immediately afterwards without pressing any of its options (Cancel, Change Document, Search App Store), so I wasn't able to get a screenshot, only the message. A quick Google search of this supposed URL yields no results, but after searching the substrings within it (moat-bridge, gvr, and MoatSuperV22), it might be related to Minecraft. Odd, since I do not have Minecraft on my computer, and there was no ad related to Minecraft on the bleacherreport.com site.
I haven't been able to reproduce this weird pop up, but I'm posting to see if anyone has encountered this and had any input. Thanks.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Hi ..
If this happens again, delete Safari cookies.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data
Then quit and relaunch Safari.
