OK for the most part I like Firefox BUT, this damn top adds are p*ssing me off. I've tried remove add or something like that but no success. I'm on the verge of going back to MSE if I can't find a way to kill theses adds.

What top adds?

theres plenty of addons to take care of this ,do a search .
or just switch off java ?

seems all the search's I've done says 3.0.5. has no add-ons to remove these damn adds. How do I switch off Java in this browser?

tools>options>content , then switch on or off what you want to do

I am running 3.0.5 and have no problems with ads at all. I do run the "Adblock Plus" add on though so maybe that is preventing it.

Thank you Bob, that was the answer So next time I come to the "big city" a big bottle of Tiger Beer is on me.

I haven't had a Tiger Beer in sometime now. Seems village life is rubbing off on me now, I've acquired a taste for Issan Beer and Lao Kaow now

Thank you Thai_1 glad that did it- although Leo would be fine with me Lao Kaow is a "step to far" for me, or rather, incapable of a step if I drink!!!

AARRGGGG....it's back again OK this time I know what this God damn thing is called,IFrame. I've installed both RIP and ABP addons but both simply will not remove IFrame permanently. HELP

Just our of curiosity have you done a full security scan of your pc? i.e. antivirus and adaware. I am using firefox 3.0.5 with no problems, even with the addons

remove flash ?

It may be that your browser or your computer itself has been affected by a virus, and in that case, the ads are not the regular pop-ups that Firefox is equipped to deal with. If you haven't already done so, you might want to perform a virus scan with up-to-date virus definitions.

I think Rick is probably correct Thai_1.
If not a virus then certainly "spyware". I use "Threatfire" a free program from PC Tools as well as AVG. You would have to run a scan (which takes a bit of time) when you downloaded but after that it just lurks in the background & stops malware, spyware & viruses as they try & invade.

Can be downloaded for free here

But there are many other products that do the same thing....

Thanks for the tips guys I'll give it a try. I have private classes tonight so I'll let the virus scanner run while I'm out teaching tonight.

The culprit has been found...turns out it is a proxy server software program I use from time to time. See I live here on the school campus and get my house, utilities, and internet for free. The down side is going through the school server can be a little dodgy at times, hence forth the need of the proxy server. So I guess to pay for this little service I get bombed with adds. So now I only run the proxy software when the schools server gets it's nose in a twitch and won't let me surf in peace.

No worry Bob, that offer of Leo still good when I get to town
