When using Firefox to access web sites, I often get advertisements popping up suggesting that answering questions will get me a gift card, or how to buy a new car, or other annoying appearances.

How do I stop getting ads popping up when using Firefox as my browser. This is a new problem for me and it is quite annoying!
