While on the internet, I notice additional windows are opened on the bottom of my screen. When I click on them - I find ads which come from http://c5.zedo.com. I do see the Mozilla firefox logo and the words "Mozilla Firefox" in the page.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
