When Firefox comes up, there is always an advertising strip down the right side. It covers up part of my emails, and web pages information. I can not get this advertising strip to go away! It also keeps my webpages from showing full screen.

Try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
