A few days ago Sophos Anti-Virus found some things that were overlooked by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but please note, that is not a general recommendation to rely upon the Sophos product.
I don't expect that to de-infest an environment that's already and increasingly infested.
That's not for Firefox.
The ads may or may not be caused by anything that an app like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac can detect.
As a start, do one of two things in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac (or both if you'd like):
1) Choose Contact Support from the Help menu to send a message to Malwarebytes support
2) Choose Take System Snapshot from the Scanner menu, then copy the full snapshot text and paste it into a message here (if you're comfortable posting information about your system publicly).
