I would use Firefox more often if it didn't feature so many ads; I have Ad Block which works on Google and Internet Explorer but not on Firefox, which is a shame. The loading of the ads also slows things down; if I'm in a hurry I only use Google or Internet Explorer.

Yes, lots of websites have so many ads they take an excessive time to load. Those are not Firefox ads; Firefox only has "ads" on a couple built-in pages, not on websites.

When I look at your Question Details > More System Details, I see a Skype extension but no ad blockers. Perhaps what you used before got removed at some point? Here are links to two popular ones (I haven't tried these myself):
