Now from last two or three days, I keep getting pop-up ads from a
particular domain on every website i go to - even on text only websites
! If i choose another proxy server in firefox , then that does not
appear on any site.

What happens if you go to an https: site? The data generally cannot be modified between the server and your browser in that case.

Also... your in-browser proxy choice works around the ISP proxy? Interesting.
