On opening up FireFox near the top of the page is a block titled, "Adds you may like" "Sponsored Links by Taboola", under which is a number of adds. How can I get rid of this whole section permanently. I am able to get rid of them temporally by using AdBlock, but this section always comes back when I restart FireFox after shutting it down either because I have finished with it or after the computer is closed down. It is such annoying section and a waste of space. Thanks to anyone who can help and / or give advice.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
