Everytime I open a website apart from popular ones, firefox shows ads with open/hide buttons which are not served by the website actually. What to do?
if i could show you a screen shot.... that would have cleared the situation. ads show up in left bottom corner with open/hide button in a frame. and the same ads show up in every html plugin on the webpage especially in facebook social plugins. however on google, mozilla, facebook, twitter there comes no ad like this. Its very annoying. I recently uninstalled firefox for the same reason but nightly is having the same problem. and let me tell you there is no such thing in other browsers like chrome and i.explorer. I like firefox i dont want to change it but i will have to if the problem persisted. :( please help.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

please also run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
