You are popping up ads in new windows and putting ads in my message area that I need to eliminate.
I need to eliminate ads. I am paying a fee every month for my firefox account. You keep adding ads in new windows and some cover up my message area.

"I am paying a fee every month for my firefox account. " Mozilla doesn't charge anything for Firefox. You're being ripped off by a 3rd party. If they are claiming to be from "Mozilla" please report them here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/
Firefox doesn't popup advertisements, so it sounds like you managed to pick some malware / adware - please see this.
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 these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
