The add-on shows it is compatible with Firefox version 3.5.x: See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13508/ Read the user comments on the above link.
Have you scanned for malware to determine if that is the reason you are getting the survey pop-ups?
Scan for Malware Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode", but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.)

- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
