I am having the oddest browser problems today. Every time I try to open ANY page, a “pop-up” window appears:
A username and password are being requested by http://lsapi.seomoz.com. The site says: “SEOmoz
I have disabled the SEOMoz plug-in and all others, checked my browser extensions – but NOTHING seems to work. And YES, I cleared my cookies, deleted my cache, and reset the browser twice.
So odd – anyone else experiencing this too? The phenomena just appeared today, so I hope it’s a bug that will simply go away.

Hey Jeremy,
So sorry to hear you are having problems with your firefox. Based on the error you pasted in, it looks like you must have some sort of plugin that is using our API and isn’t authenticating correctly.
You can contact us at customerservice@seomoz.org so we can help troubleshoot what might be going on
Best,
Kate
Hope that helps!

Hey Jeremy,
After reading and replying to your post – I did some more investigation and it turns out that certain plugins were making malformed requests to the API and we recently changed the response code returned from the API when this happened.
We just rolled out a fix for this so the problem should be resolved!
Thanks for point it out and sorry for the bad user experience!
Kate
No problem – glad it was figured out, I noticed that it only happened when using OpenDNS (on a particular network) as well (not sure if that helps)
it is problem due to API call from Firefox addons. One such addon that is causing such problem is WASP addon. try to disable addons or run Firefox in safe mode.
I still have this problem and it is now April 2011. Did anyone ever figure this out or get it resolved?
Thanks disabled it and didnt get any pop-ups
Just disabled the SEOmoz-toolbar addon, and now it works fine! But any fix yet to run the toolbar without having this issue?
Thanks!
Very interesting topic and i am also suffering from the problem as well. I think addons generates some automated queries and it reduces the performances of Firefox. Am i right? Can anybody solve my quest?
Had the similar kind of problem. I just disabled the add-on and now i don’t see the pop-up.
This is happening to me as of today :/
I have tried disabling the add-on >>> Nothing!
Cleaned cookies, cache, my monitor, my desk >>> Nothing!
What else?
Hi, is now 01/2012 and im having lot of trouble with the pop up window of lsapi.somoz.org, i dont have an account at seomoz.com so i do not have an user or a password, i uninstal the addon about 10 times and reinstall it back again, i downgrade and upgrade again firefox, i restore my lap to a 7 days ago state and NOTHING seens to work, this thing´s worst than a virus, i can´t navigate in firefox, i hate google crome and still more IE, so this is gettin real painfull.

How do I disable this? I cannto use my Firefox because it constantly pops up and for the life of me I can’t remember or find how to do this. Driving me NUTS.
Hi, all. i think very easy way. Firstly, u’re download MozBackup to make a backup a profile, and then u need uninstall your firefox, after all download new lastest firefox and install. Done
