What do you mean by WordAds?
They are adverts applied to wordpress.com hosted websites with high traffic and an application as far as I can gather.. here are some screen shots. I’m running an alpha version of 4.1, self hosted and they appeared on my site just today:

Is this occurring on your home page? I can’t see the ads from those screenshots there.
Yes home page, and many other pages.
I’m not sure how you can’t see the adverts from the screen shots though they are clear as day?

Is this issue specific to a browser?
Mmmm. It seems so, I just tried with chrome (with adblock turned off) and don’t see the adverts.
I use FF but have adblock disabled for my site.
EDIT: Issue resolved. Somehow a sneaky addon called ffShopper was added to my FF… strange. Sorry for the time waste, but those are the same adverts shown via WordAds on WP.COM hostsed sites.

Try disabling some other addons you have in the browser showing the ads

It’s okay. It can sometimes be legitimate addons that installs this stuff. Awesome Screenshot was a particular bad player that has had its reputation tarred.
Ah ha!!! It’s Awsome screenshot. It just done it again.. sly…
