Any easy way to remove floating ads after they appear (i.e., not preventing them)?
Generally ads on web pages don't bother me. So I don't feel strongly to use ad-blocking software to prevent any or all kinds of ads. But I do mind ads that float on web pages because they often block the view.
Although some floating ads allow the user to close them, more pop-ups, or other types of nuisance, may appear after they are closed.
So, Is there any easy way (an add-on, perhaps) to remove the floating ads after they appear, and prevent them from generating more ads or showing themselves again when the page is reloaded?
Maybe something like "CTRL + Alt + left click" applied on the floating ads?
I don't want to disable scripts and Flash.

There are add-ons that do this, but they haven't been updated in a long time, so they might have problems.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/zaqwes_remover/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remove-it-permanently/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/clean-the-junk/

I'd sooner recommend Adblock Plus, used as follows:
- Install Adblock Plus.
- Click the Adblock Plus toolbar icon and choose Filter Preferences.
- On the Filter Subscriptions tab, right-click each subscription and choose Delete. Now Adblock Plus isn't blocking anything.
- Install Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus.
- Now when you want to hide something on a web page, click the Adblock Plus toolbar icon and choose "Select an element to hide".
- If the web page preview looks acceptable, click the Add Element Hiding Rule button. For advanced usage, see the following pages.

I ended up with the 'Clean The Junk' add-on because it provides a 'one click away' solution which is even better than hotkey combination or context menu item. Nothing is simpler.
Only tick the 'IFrame' checkbox in the option dialogue of this add-on, and then you can remove all the floating ads with just one click on its toolbar icon .
