The ads are how Microsoft makes the money to keep Outlook free.

You can upgrade to Outlook Plus (paid) to be rid of them permanently.

 If you have PLUS and ads please contact the Billing Department.

If you are using Firefox you can use either popup blocker or No-script but neither will reclaim the space the ads take up.

    I use Webmail Ad Blocker on two PCs running Windows 7 and Firefox.

    I do not see any ads in my outlook.com .... no ads on right, no ads on bottom, etc.

    I followed the link and successfully downloaded the Web ADS stop for Firefox on my old XP computer. The icon shows on my computer's right top screen. But when I open my outlook email inbox, the ads still shows at bottom and takes almost one third of the of the screen. 

    I also downloaded the Web ADS stopper for google chrome for my windows 7 computer, it worked great.

    Thank you for quick responese.

    Outlook.com email moved advertisement to bottom of the inbox now, so the download for the Firefox does not work. It only worked on google chrome when the advertisement at the inbox right side. Please help.
