I am using Fire fox an getting tracked. A number of sites are popping up ads for there products that I inquired about by only by looking at there products. How can I stop this tracking?
have you run a scan with Malwarebytes, and removed any PUP found…
have you run AdwCleaner and deleted any crap found…
Yes to both of them and there no problems detected found by either of them.
Disable your add-ons / plugins one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.
If disabling them is not solving it…
Follow the instructions and ATTACH the logs to your next post.

Did you try using the Avast browser cleanup tool? Adwcleaner does remove most of the toolbars, but running a scan with that wont hurt.
I did all of what was suggest with out val.
except Eddys suggestion … and attaching the farbar diagnostic log so essexboy can have a look inside
Here is the logs:
