I am getting ads provided by http://help.kijiji.net/ca/knowledgebase.php?article=40 that appear as highlighted links in text on various websites. This is very annoying. How do I block these? Currently, these ads appear to be solely for usinsuranceonline.com, but they appear multiple times per page- I mean, 20 or 30 times! Is there an adblocker for this? A sample of affected sites:

washingtonexaminer.com clickorlando.com http://losangeles.cbslocal.com

This is not a virus or a problem with my computer, it is a paid-for advertisement inserted into the text of the website, provided by kijiji.net.

Solution choisie

I solved it by looking at my Add-ons list in "Tools". There was an add-on that I hadn't put there. Sadly, I don't remember what it was. Some kind of shopping helper, I think. I removed it, restarted Firefox, and the annoying little buggers were gone.

There are many advertisement blocking add-ons you can install from http://addons.mozilla.org/ to resolve this.

You can see the list of your previously installed extension in the System Details List attached to your first post.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs each time you start Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session. If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
