    The nuclear option would be to delete your ~/.mozilla folder forcing firefox to create a new profile.

    It is probably enough to install something like the adblock plus extension and deselect the adblock plus option " Allow some non-intrusive advertising " which is enabled by default.

    If it is that, it can be disabled via the little cog wheel up in the top right corner of that tabs page.
