What is going on with all the ads lately? I do not have this problem with Chrome or IE and I have done the update.

I've been a big fan of what you guys are doing for a long time but can not stand using the browser lately due to the pop ups everywhere. It makes me question the whole "Proudly Non-Profit" thing.

Do you have the pop-up blocker enabled?

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Content

Is there any pattern to the ads?

In case it's a rogue add-on, could you disable all nonessential extensions here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category

After restarting Firefox, do you notice any different in the number or type of pop-ups?

Also Firefox from mozilla.org does Not come with any Ads.

Do you still get the issue after starting Firefox in its safe-mode ?
