The New York Times reports that Gmail is now showing display ads alongside messages:
Display ads are a growing business for Google as it expands beyond the simple text ads that appear next to search results and on other Web sites.As of this morning, there’s no mention of this development on the Gmail blog.
The ads contain images and sometimes audio and video and often publicize a brand, like an airline, as opposed to suggesting a specific action, like booking a flight on the spot.
[In Firefox, the answer is Adblock Plus.]

Another option for OS X users is GlimmerBlocker. In my experience, it’s less hassle than AdBlock Plus, and has the distinct advantage that it works system-wide, with any installed browser. It also seems to break fewer sites than ABP.
Thanks for the recommendation, Koralatov.
