Weird popup with NoScript

I use NoScript for Firefox for a little added security, but earlier something weird happened and it's kinda freaked me out. I got a popup that mentioned something about 'clickjacking', looked very similar to this;



Anyway I clicked on the the link it mentioned and it just took me to a fullscreen version of a YouTube video I'd been linked to and watched a couple of minutes earlier. I haven't been able to make the popup appear again.

Does anyone know if I should be concerned? I get overly paranoid about these sorts of things :S

Thanks.

Huh, what OS are you running? I don't think that it will harm you. Rather, it seems that NoScript is rather fussy in this instance.

But, if you are paranoid, make a list of Firefox extensions, passwords and the like and
Code:
sudo apt-get purge
reinstall that sucker (Firefox, I mean). You should be okay otherwise, unless you run Vista/7/8/Linux_Distro, then freak out and proceed to do what I said earlier.

I'm running Windows 7, and like I said I couldn't get it to do it again so you're probably right it's just being fussy.

I did a bunch of scans on my PC to be safe, but I might do what you said later.

Thanks :)

Depends on the website you were on...Is the website at least semi-dodgy?

I was on The Escapist so no. I was linked to the YouTube video in a user group.
