Adblock For Firefox

[jubieanna]

I have lots of adverts and would like to add on adblock. when i looked there are loads of different ones. which one should I use?

Only this one:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
(PS: Don't tell the Ed!).

However if your ads are appearing as pop-up, no ad-blocker will help. They're caused by malware. To deal with them download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/free/
Points to note:
1. When installing, take care to deselect the option to install free trial of the 'PRO' version ;
2. When running it, use the 'Quick scan' option ;
3. Don't be surprised when that 'quick' scan takes over half an hour to finish ;
4. When it does so, click the button to view the results, ensure that there's a tick alongside everything listed and then click the button to delete what's been found.

forgot to say that they are just ads and not pop ups. have been using chrome and having trouble loading my yahoo mail so thought I would try firefox as I have heard you recommend it a few times on other threads.

Can't remember how to do it, but you can get the same Ad Block Plus for Google Chrome too.
