i reloaded firefox recently, now i get constant video ads, i dont wan. how do i stop unsolicited video ads.
i had a pop up tell me that firefox needed to update, not thinking i clicked it, then the computer began to popup allover. so i deleted the "alledged " update, and anything suspicious, back dated my OS by a few days, and ran several virus scans, That seemed to fix the problem, but when i reloaded firefox from the mozilla site, i noticed that there are a ton more advertisements and at least one on every page is a video, i do not want video ads running on my computer, as it uses up my download alottment. how do i stop them?

You should never respond to such an alert on web pages, but only download and install Firefox from the Mozilla server.
Sounds that you picked up malware this way.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
