Default stop annoying web adds playing in background?

i have a p4 desktop and my internet speed is 512kb, not that fast..so i need to make sure my web pages are simple as possible..they are full of adverts and animations its so annoying, im using latest firefox version

anyway i can stop these adds forever? i know i can right click on them and reduce their quality to low etc, but i need a permanent solution.
so essential parts of my page will download faster..

any ideas?
thanks!!

You can use the AdBlock Plus add on found in the add ons section of firefox

by clicking on Tools>Add Ons>Get New Add Ons

and then searching for it and installing it. Hope that helps
