There is another way...but to answer your question, yes. When you uninstall FF it ask to delete 'personal' files or some such expression. I did it and did not lose any of my bookmarks or even many other special settings. Edit: if you don't get a window asking to save settings, wait for another to suggest help. I could be wrong. My setup was on vista and I see you are on XP.

Thank you,

When you say there is another way, may I ask what that is? Also, in your opinion, is it a better way to resolve the problem? Your help is appreciated.

Install Adblock Plus from FF's add-on manager. It will remove the ad. It is a work around but it works.

Sounds that you block the cookies from that domain.

You can inspect all the permissions on the about:permissions page.
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

Thank you cor-el. It's late and I need some rest before trying to take advantage of of the great advice I've received. Your time and concern is appreciated.

W1_M2 and cor-el,

THANK YOU BOTH!

I had blocked cookies to the site. Allowing them now gives me access to it.

Adblock Plus is now hard at work and I can now set my fantasy football lineup.

Can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to help.
