	You don't say what extensions you have installed in Firefox, nor 
whether you even have it behind a proxy. Before doing a lot of work, I'd 
try (if you haven't) putting firefox behind privoxy, and getting the 
NoScript and Adblock extensions.

	If you already have those defenses, I'm no judge what to try next.
