Computer processing slowly and Ads pop up of product I searched on net

Yes FF is set up to block pop ups

Its not so much pop ups as it seems almost every page that has advertisement on it will have ads for printers, which is the last item I researched. It has been for other items that I researched as well for example dog collars, air conditioners etc. Printers just happen to be the latest and it was the add at the top of your page again.

It happens way to often to be just random .

Not really, almost every page I open has ads for weed killer which is the latest thing I've searched for.

Well if that is normal then I guess my computer is up and running.

A great big thank you to you guys, you rock.
