I think these advts are positioned at form filling portions of a page and may be gathering information from the form data.

On Firefox on Ubuntu I had experienced a video playing in a background tab when trying to buy this tyre.

It's almost fishy the number of scripts that site tries to load.
The registration page wants to load >20 scripts.

Just happened today.
Click on Register Now and a spam tab opens. If you close it, your registration page is there.

I haven't seen those on clean pages but I've had those on before on
a
few "content providers of questionable legality". What a lot of
sites do
is add a invisible box in front of the whole page which links to an advertisment pop up. Maybe one of the embeded advertisments is able
to
use that technique.
I don't think it's a virus or a rouge extention since it's
happening on
both your phone and PC. Maybe someone else might have a better Idea

Hello Friends,
Off late I have observed that when visiting some websites (Clean
ones),
especially where a form is to be filled, a spam advts tab opens
in the
browser. It happens in Android as well as Ubuntu in Firefox. In my
Ubuntu
laptop, I was on a sports shopping site and just when I clicked
on Buy
Now,
it opened a spam page, even playing an advt video.
What is this new phenomenon happening?
Regards, Rony.
Some sample URL's where you see such behaviour might be helpful, to
let us
diagnose the issue.
Thanks and Regards
