"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 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.
