How do I Stop hostile takeover of existing tabs?
Lately, one of the ad servers on a series of sites I regularly visit, has decided to start occasionally taking over those sites while I am using them. Sometimes this ad server will take over other sites that I didn't think had anything to do with that ad server. Typically my foxfilter will stop half the takeovers because it detects a porn term in the potential site being loaded. But other times I am left having to right-click the back button to return to an earlier version of the site I had originally loaded.
I installed a pop-up blocker to attempt cutting back on this behaviour because it also claimed to stop pop-unders, but I am also still getting pop-unders from this particular ad server. It actually jams up behaviour of any tab it decides to start trying to take over.
How do I stop this? I already have redirects turned off in Firefox, and the associated message often does come up before the hostile takeover takes place. Help?

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
