Iceweasel here too. There was some kind of update for Iceweasel yesterday, I wonder if this was it.

Is your AdBlockPlus turned off in Swiftweasel, I don't see them until I turn off AdBlockPlus? FF doesn't come with it, but you can add AdBlockPlusas an add-on.

I've never had Adblock installed and I just notice the adds were there. Never noticed them before?

If I get something I don't like, like any type of adds or cookies I usually clean it in the browser or in the temp folder.

Maybe this will work. Be advise I use kde so maybe is not the same case for AntiX.

Good luck and I say Hi eriefisher!

Best Wishes!

I'm looking with swiftfox 2.0.0.11 today on mepis 6.5, and I see the ads too. I didn't see the ads until recently either, sometime in the last week or so.
I don't think it is due to a browser upgrade; mine hasn't upgraded recently.
My guess would be a forum upgrade.

I noticed the ads first today in both Firefox and Opera. I use Ad Blocker through Greasemonkey to turn them off.

It is due to a forum upgrade.
As it is a 'free' one, (it originally claimed no ads) there isn't much I can do.

Here is the email I got from them if you are interested.

Does this mean that you will get a cut of the revenue from these adds. I think you should due to the fact that it is your product that that drives this particular forum.[/opinion]
