How can I open my email without opening a new window with ad?
When I open Firefoxand the first email I try to open, a new window opens with an ad. I have tried eliminating the same by deleting the cookie pertaining to the address in the window but to no avail. The address in thar window is: http://nym1.ib.adnxs.com/pop?enc=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPA_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOEJxSjX1mgkTBUzhWf4bTmx69VQAAAAAPRnDQAdAgAAHQIAAAIAAAD4yUMAlEECAAAAAABVU0QAVVNEAOcD5wM_HgAAkloAAgQCAQUAAIQAKRUPAQAAAAA.&cnd=!3Bkj8QiP2zEQ-JOPAhgAIJSDCTAEOL-8CEAESJ0EUPTPNVgAYLQCaABwAHgAgAEAiAEAkAEBmAEBoAECqAEAsAEAuQEAAAAAAAAAAMEBAAAAAAAAAADJAYIVYAp8g_A_2QEAAAAAAADwP-ABAA..&udj=uf%28%27a%27%2C+45349%2C+1356196785%29%3Buf%28%27r%27%2C+4442616%2C+1356196785%29%3Bppv%2829846%2C+%272623583002533628385%27%2C+1356196785%2C+1356239985%2C+814479%2C+147860%2C+0%2C+4%2C+10368000%29%3B&ccd=!LAW0LwiP2zEQ-JOPAhiUgwkgBA..&vpid=45&creative_click=http%3A%2F%2Ffinancereports247.com%2F2%2F&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fus.mg6.mail.yahoo.com%2Fneo%2Flaunch%3F.rand%3D65g3ng480fvtm&dlo=1
Hope you can fix this or i will start using other browser.

I would just simply suggest installing eg. AdBlockPlus extension. Then, when that window opens again, you right-click it and then choose to block it.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Microsoft Security Essentials (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

The AD Block worked just fine, Thanks.
I had the same problem and when I disabled SelectionLinks 1.5 it seemed to stop.
