Adblock is not blocking all ads even tho I've set my preferences
I installed AdBlock and set my preferences to stop all ads - even the 'acceptable ads' but I continue to have the invasion. If I can't stop this. Firefox will cease to be my preferred browser. I don't want to see ANY ads while I'm on the Internet. It's bad enough that they appear on videos and the side bars. But popping onto the screen where you are trying to work is just plain rude.

hello, you might have adware present on your system. please perform all these steps:
- reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
