Well, the phone seems to be behaving itself now. I appreciate all the help.
I dumped Firefox from both the phone and the iPad, and since installing Betafish AdBlock on the phone I haven't seen any more of that nonsense on it. Up until a few days ago, I had never seen that problem on the iPad, and I was using Firefox at the time. I swear there was a correlation with the iPhone using cellular data vs wifi data when I'm at home. Not sure why, but it was definitely happening primarily when I was away from my wireless network at home and browsing a news website.
Regarding the various browsers, I've tried many of them and they all seem to have their good and bad points. A few I disliked instantly, but most are ok once you get used to their interface. I think I'll just stick with the one I'm familiar with for now. They all seem to change over time in ways I don't like, so until that happens as long as I can make Safari work for me I'll use it.
