BNM you sound like an Android n00b but I know you aren't. Google Big Tin Can Android adfree. It's not on the market anymore, but it will get rid of all your ads. Ditch Firefox, stick with Chrome.
Better still, sideload f-droid and use Adaway.
I don't really mess with my phone much outside of rooting it to install the custom firmware so that it would just work right and I could tether with out having to pay extra.
I've been using Chrome as my main browser but sometimes (even on the computer) it won't let me post on certain sites. Sometime the mobile FF browser won't let me click links. Even my Swype is giving me problems right now. it's all very annoying. and this is on the phone and on my tablet, so I know it's the mobile/browser software and not the OS as my GS3 is on CM10.2 and my Galaxy Tab2 is on stock whatever it came with.
I will look into both of those right now because I can't use these forums on my phone/tablet as is anymore. Too much hassle.
edit:
I think i'm going the F-Droid route w/ AdAway, seems like the better option of the 2 after a quick google search.
just gonna back-up my phone before installing F-Droid and then hopefully all annoying ads will be a thing of the past.
edit 2:
OMG Applauds for the 2 of you. now I have that desktop experience on my phone. it all loads so much quicker on top of it all. Now I gotta figure out how to root my Tab 2.0 and do the same. it's like night and day. like getting contacts/glasses and realizing you've been blind for most of your life and didn't realize it.
