Hi there, it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were not placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.
Could you please try turning off all your Firefox extensions temporarily? Here are instructions for doing that:

Alternatively, you can try running Firefox in safe mode to deactivate all extensions and add-ons at once:

Let me know how it goes!
