Every time I open a new tab there is a pop up ad. Also there are certain words underlined throughout websites that also lead to an ad.

Hello kellynem,

probably your pc infected from malware. Try to remove any toolbar that you have not install from your firefox extensions (firefox button > addons > extensions)

check also control panel > add or remove programs, remove any program not installed by you.
