How do I get turn off the roll-over sponsor links that show up on every page?
Every page I open has several common words hyperlinked that upon roll-over open a sponsor pop-up box (almost always something called Play Sushi).
It ANNOYS THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME!
How do I turn that off?

A couple of things to check:
First, to ensure that an add-on is not causing this, follow the procedure in the troubleshooting extensions and themes article.
If it is not being caused by an add-on, try running several malware scanners to see if malware is causing this. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
You can also try to disable the Ask Toolbar.

TonyE, I think you may have lead the OP down a trail of unnecessary time consuming checks. This might be because you have not encountered roll over popups before? I know of no other term that they are called.
Roll over popups annoy people on both Firefox and IE. They are not addon specific, nor anything malware based.
They are getting more and more commonplace. They often take the form of a doubly underlined hyperlink.
They are most likely implemented in either Flash or JavaScript, but I cannot be sure. I don't believe they are implemented in straight-out Java.
