You might have to re-institute your 'block list'.
In Tools> Add on's> tick AdblockPlus> Preferences> Filters> Add filter> (on the following window, select those which would/may help for you locale; Easylist & Fanboy are a couple for the U.S. Also, make sure to update all, from under "Filters")> OK out.
The above idea for NoScript is also a solid security/privacy addition.
Also get 'Better Privacy', a 'flash cookie' blocker.
This also helps: FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy> top drop menu set to "Firefox will use custom settings..."> Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'
& Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'.
Good luck.
