I have just re-installed Firefox to a newly built PC and now on almost every page has ads along with the text. Moving the mouse over the text shows the ad, and I must then click out out of the in window pop-up. I can't find a way to get rid of them, or anything that I have added to cause this. I have included a screen shot of one of them. In it, you can see the word Java was chosen for the ad. How can I get rid of these?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

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