Hi there, First off Mozilla Firefox is very user-friendly - thank you. Secondly, I have been accessing various websites recently and noticed that they have spinning, twirling marketing things on them. This makes reading, browsing on the websites very difficult. Examples of these websites are UCAS and Ebay. Is there any chance Mozilla Firefox have developed something which will actually stop these marketing items from spinning/ twirling? If they have, could you please talk me through it. Thanks Vicky G.

This happened

A few times a week

You can look at Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1865 You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList): http://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions

If you have problems with certain websites then see the Adblock Plus forum: https://adblockplus.org/forum/
