Recently adds have started appearing in Arabic on my Mozilla Foxfire browser. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it? I've selected English as my preferred language in preferences but the adds continue. Have I been hacked?

Please follow this along https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware and run any malware programs for your Mac OS X

That is a good start.

Q: Are you in an Arabic area?

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
