When I access Craig's List using Firefox I get third party ads flashing at the top of every days postings telling me to "Click Here" for whatever they are advertising. This happens ONLY when I use Firefox and in EVERY category on Craig's List. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and have the latest version but nothing stops these ads.

hello bigfootjim159, please try to remove the complitly extension in firefox/tools > addons > extensions - it's adware. also have a look in the windows control panel and uninstall any toolbars or unwanted entries there.
