Any advice?

[carsheven]

My pages on Firefox are full of ads since last night. I may have clicked on something bad when shopping days ago. Some read 'Ads by PriceMinus' in the bottom. I find many posts like this one. But they are about Windows. Is it the same on Mac iOS?
Thanks for any advice.

I came accross the same problem on my windows (64bit) recently. When I open some pages via Firefox, it always redirects to an ad page, it is really irritating. I would try the solution recommended by the link.
As for your Mac ios, I'm sorry. some some other guy could help you ASAP 😛

first use malwarebytes.
Update malwarebytes and reboot and then do a full scan.
May need to use other scanners like spybot and other scanners.

He is running a Mac OS, not Windows so those programs won't work for him.

For a Mac OS, try this program:

It's probably the best junkware/malware remover for the Mac.

The website you linked provides a tutorial for manual removal also for Mac OS, just scroll down and you'll see it.

And if that doesn't work (as in it's not truly a virus), the extension ABE for Firefox should help, now and in the future (it's very customizable so sites you want to support, like this one, can be ignored).

You can also try to remove all extensions or uninstall/reinstall the browser.
