My questions is about those pop-ups that cover the entire page and are just regular DOM elements such as <div> but I don't know what they are called. They usually contain some social media links or ask you to register on the website or subscribe to their newsletter.

Is there a way to reliably detect those elements and block them from taking over the screen or hide them? A Firefox add-on or Greasemonkey script?

Here's an example of what i'm referring to:

you can block some of those popups as well as other social content using adblock plus. after installing, you need to add a filter list called Fanboy Annoyances List which can be downloaded from: Fanboy website.

Another option is a browser called Slimjet. It uses Chrome but is quite efficient in blocking ads...not as efficient as adblock plus, but still quite useful.
