blocking annoying pop-up in firefox


Every time I try to get some torrent on pirate bay, an annoying nord vpn offer pops up, and blocks my access the torrent.

I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint 20.1. Is there any way in which I can get past that pop-up, or prevent it from appearing?

On some web sites Gorhill's Ublock Origin is not enough to get rid of annoyances. That's why I use also this add-on with good success.
