Time for you to make the switch to another browser. Firefox doesn't do that.

I use Firefox at home and at work, and have never suffered. Jus sayin!

Then add AdBlocker Plus to your Firefox and you will have no more ads slowing things down.

While I agree to use Firefox or Googles Chrome (both have the adblock plus add-on which is great)......I suspect that your PC picked up some malware...and your browser is a primary target. Download and run CCleaner to flush out your temp files. Then I'd check your PC with a good updated quality antivirus program, and additionally scan with some ad/spyware removal programs such as MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware, and Spybot. Uninstall all those added toolbars too.

Simply moving to a different browser...while your PC remains infected..is like sticking your thumb in a hole in a dam....barely a temporary fix...something worse is still coming down the road.
