I am desperate, adds keep filling the screen
It does not matter which tab I am on, adds keep filling up the screen. I have trtied a few malware scans but none helped to fix my problem. I don't really want to have to un-install firefox and re-install. Can you please help me? wizzardlock

Your PriceMeter Live plug-in is adware and should be removed. Google for information.
Please let us know if this helped.
It's probably an extension. Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or if obviously bad, remove).
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the ads?
Also recommended:
(1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. Then look for any recent unrecognized programs that may have snuck in as part of a bundle. Remove everything you do not know to be useful and trustworthy.
