Using Firefox 57.0 (64-bit) under Windows 7.  I have Block pop-up 
windows turned on, and tracking protection turned on (always).  I have 
the Adblock and Privacy Badger extensions.  And yet recently I'm getting 
more "Turn off your ad blocker" popups, such as at cnn.com and 
weather.com.  Is there something I can configure in Adblock to stop 
them, or what else can I do?  Thanks.

You could install Violent Monkey (or Tamper Monkey,) and then install 
this script:

Enable Tracking Protection > Always in Privacy and Security. That did it 
for me.

Thanks, but I already have that setting set to Always and unfortunately 
the popups continue.

Do you have the Strict or Basic block list selected. I use Strict.

I forgot to ask.

Did you turn off your ad blocker? With Tracking Protection enabled in 
57.0 it isn't needed for most sites.

Hmmm!  I changed it to strict and, so far, the popups have stopped. 
Hopefully it will stay that way.  Thanks!

Do you mean turn off Adblock, or turn off Privacy Badger?  I thought it 
was Privacy Badger that did tracking protection.  Thanks.

Spoke too soon.  Weather.com just gave me another "Turn off your ad 
blocker" popup.  Sigh.

I use uBlock Origin and have it turned off for weather.com. Also running 
with Privacy Badger disabled as an experiment.

With Ublock Origin I use the element picker to block pop ups like that, fla=
shy animated bars, etc. It doesn't work permanently everywhere, though. Som=
e sites prevent you from doing that by using randomly generated throwaway n=
ames each time instead of a single consistent one.
