What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

Your problem is not a Firefox related issue. That is simply an ad sponsored by Yahoo! And will come up inevitably.
