First, you really should update to Firefox 11. There are lots of major security holes since Firefox 6 that have been fixed, as well as some other bugs and performance improvements.

After you do that, does the article Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should help you any? Also try to start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox.

It still isn't showing the ads....

So with Firefox 11 and following all those steps it doesn't work? Did you make sure you Cleared the Cache?

If you create a new profile, Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles explains how, does it still happen there? If it doesn't, your old profile is just corrupted and we can move your data from one to the other.
