You should try Privoxy to block popups, ads and other annoyances... it is based on the old Junkbuster Proxy code but supports HTTP/1.1 and much more advanced/fine grained configuration.
After a reboot less software has run and left its mark on the system, causing less system turbulence. This generally results in transient periods of stability immediately after the restart of the system as different components have not yet interacted in the complex ways you see on systems packed with traces of software that has already run. Unless someone has yet another inspiration about how to ensure greater stability in the field of complex systems engineering we're doomed to at least a few reboots.
