I use mobile twitter (https://mobile.twitter.com/) in Firefox sidebar (as bookmark load in sidebar option) I noticed that I get tweet ads, while if using Opera panel the same way (the same address), I don't get any ad. Please look at this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/pNeeG.png

Why can that be?

Its problem bcoz of you installed any toolbars (Babylon). Uninstall the toolbars and use firefox Add-ons > Adblock plus.

If its not solve the problem

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

I don't have any toolbars and I do have Adblock.

However this is not like regular site ad, it's twitter message, so Adblock can't do anything

Why are you suggesting me these non-sense steps, for second time? Should I reinstall my OS too?
