I keep getting advertisement pages before the page I want will load and I have to click a "skip this ad" on the top right before I can get the one I want to load. It happens when I start the browser and wont let my home page load until I click the "skip this ad". It just started doing this after updating to Firefox 12.0 and I already have Ad Block Light with the what ever it's called I had to add to it before it would work. But its not working right or maybe not at all. When I search for something in Google or Yahoo and click on something, instead of that I get a ad page first. When I click a link to another page I get a ad page first, when I use a bookmark for a page I get a ad page first. How do I stop this?

Are you getting this ad page on every single website you go to, or just a few? If it's everyone, I'd suspect a virus or some sort.

You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Also, make sure to update to Firefox 14, and then Reset Firefox if you are still having trouble. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
