Every time I go on Firefox, I always get advertisements of Ads by MediaAds. It's annoying and I know there is a way to uninstall it but I don't know how. I can't find it on the programs. Please help. Thanks.

Go to your start menu and type "Uninstall A Program" search for the program and uninstall. Then reset Firefox cause most ads or browser hijackers will cause the problem again.
