I'd like to know too because I have the ad blocker on, but whatever option I'm using in FF only blocks pop-ups. Too strange because I was just wondering today if there was a way within FF to make that ad disappear!

BTW, I sent a note to the TPTB about this ad a couple weeks ago. I haven't heard anything back about it yet.

If you have the Adblock Plus add-on, you can click on its icon and a box should come down with all the items currently running on the page you are on. Just identify the offending item and click on it and add it to the blocked filter.

Sorry, not a very techie explanation but I find it works! I have never seen the ad you are all talking about so I suspect it must be included in a block I already had.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much I found the add on for FF and now the add is gone awesome and looks like it will take care of some other annoying adds I have come across on other sites too!
