The picture will have a small insert image of magnifying glass and any time you scroll over the picture it will show an ad to click for www.yellow.com. This interferes with some operations for drop downs and frankly is really irritating. How do I permanently remove this from Firefox....

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
