The latest on-line pop-up ads are using flash media to get around traditional ad blockers and they are good at it. This was marginally tolerable so long as they stayed off to the side and danced in the moonlight but now some of these ads are covering the information until we click "close" enough times and they finally go away.

Here's "NoFlash", a freeware that allows you to turn flash on (there are times when we need it) and turn flash off. It's a small program that creates a tray icon which you right click to bring up a toggle menu. It shows a little red cross bar when flash is off.

Until Mozilla et al come up with a built in blocker, this will do the job. You can find more info about NoFlash here:
