How can I stop the nuisance video ads and add links being generatesd, since getting the latest Firefox update installed, I HATE them getting in the way?
Little video ads appear at random times on the lower right of my screen. Also, in some sites a few "key words" are being converted into hyperlinks to unwanted advertisers. In some instances, we also see this appearing on the East Arkansas Community "Campus Connect" site, promoting other online educational organizations that are in potential competition with our institution. This is unacceptable.

hello angrommet, this sounds like a problem caused by adware active on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
