It could be that these ads are generated by an add-on. Try this:

Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

If you get a link above a disabled extension to restart Firefox, go ahead and do that as the last step. Any improvement?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

TY WFW, I did have one called 1.0 and disabled it. I'll see if it helps. Not only are ads taking over the tele, they're now on my computer. Driving me batty.
