How do I get Firefox browser to stop putting pictures of half (or more) naked women on many websites I visit that have nothing to do with such stuff?

Hi
It may be the case that you have picked up some inadvertent advertising that is following you.
I recommend you turn on Tracking Protection which should reduce the tracking that you are seeing. You can read more about this here.
You may also want to clear out your internet history. You can read more about this here.
I hope that helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Thanks. I'll try these suggestions.
You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon {web link} Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon extends the blocking functionality of Adblock Plus to those annoying pop-up windows that open on mouse clicks and other user actions.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
