I have a Toshiba Satellite C50D laptop with 3.4 GB of RAM and (AMD E1-1200 APU @ 1.4 GHz with Radeon HD Graphics) x 2 processor; (older posts refer to 8.04, 9.10, 12.04 on this or other hardware).
So far,I'm not seeing them..That's all we need,more stupid ads we have no interest in.

Ah, yes. I see. I seldom open a blank new tab, and for me personally the ads there aren't bothersome. Not like content-blocking popups or embedded video.
Oh, these silly Mozilla geek devs. I was curious about the mouseover effects -- I use NoScript -- and found the page uses XUL. I was not aware of the Ghost-buster references in XUL, but there it is in the page source:
Sheesh.Code:xmlns:xul="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
the problem of too much stuff...
well i think the reality is that mozilla receive very little money from donations, unlike wikipedia for example. so to stay alive they must work something out with businesses
mozilla's total revenue 2012: $311 million [google]
mozilla's total donations 2014: $3.2 million
wikipedia's total donations 2013: $50 million
i am not sure of the running costs of mozilla, but i have vaguely glimpsed them on their website, if someone cares to look
also interesting to note, as a european myself, is that north americans donate almost double per person than europeans, to wikipedia. but anyway

I personaly use Midori, not Firefox. I stopped using Firefox when i found out they supported Net Newtralaty. (Sorry if I spelled something wronge, spell check doesn't want to work.)
Have you heard of AdBlock Plus? It's an open-source, free adblocker plugin for literally every web-browser out there.

It can if you want it to. You can pick and choose which ads you want it to block, and which ones you don't. You can create custom parameters for it, or tell it to block certain images/text.
