Spam advertisement

Solved

Hello, I occasionally receive spam ads on my mobile telling me I've won an iPhone 6, and the only way to get rid of them is to turn off my phone for a while. The beginning of the address is:
http://www.orange.com-winprizes.com/sw/fr/orange/orange57.html?brand=
This time it seems to be Orange; I think I've also received them with Free.
Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of them?
Thank you in advance
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime smartphone running Android

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 47.0

Use an ad blocker like AdBlock, or just the browser:

I have installed an ad blocker, but today I am getting the same message that I can't get rid of. In fact, it doesn't look like a pop-up window that usually has a close button; it appears when I try to go online and tells me that I have been selected for a survey with rewards. At the bottom, there is an OK box, and if I click on it, I end up on another page that says "Dear customer, congratulations..." and at the bottom of the page, there are buttons for a survey. It seems to come from Orange, as there is a logo. If I go back, I return to the first page, and it loops. I am quite annoyed. Thank you again for your response.

Yes, using Firefox instead of Chrome.
