Google links to Ad Sites and unrequested audio plays in background
1) When I click on links from Google searches it redirects to Ad websites...
2) When I have Internet windows open suddenly audio (that sounds like it is coming from other unopened websites) will start playing.

If it's an ad site on Google, it would probably be blocked the "Adblock Plus" with the right subscription filters, or a filter you make.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances
- the links for extensions are near the bottom of the page
That will probably stop your problem there are other things you can try:
"Stop Autoplay" extension (I have it disabled, think it would not show the first frame)
media.autoplay.enabled user set boolean False (have that, shows up in about:config but not in about:support)
nothing for stopping autoplay in these
see Load Tabs Progressively, Load tabs one by one. Limit the number of concurrent loading tabs and/or unread loaded tabs. (too restrictive for me)
I would certainly take a look at, the second link requires Stylish extension.
- Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ - Tab Color Underscoring active/read/unread (Fx3.6 ) - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org
