Thank you.
MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Safari browser
The Safari 7.0.3 update did not include anything regarding pop ups > About Safari 7.0.3
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Select: Block pop-up windows
If the ads refer to Genieo, then you need to remove malware > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide : Genieo
I have block pop-up windows selected and have not had a single pop up.
You have probably installed some kind of adware on your computer. Using Firefox may simply be suppressing the symptoms, but is not a cure. See my Adware Removal Guide for help identifying and removing whatever it is.

Update without sense. About 6 weeks ago I got heaps of ads by using Safari. The update didn't end this. So I got Firefox and the problem is gone. Apple should guess about to help their customers but the reaction is as always "nothing..."
