I just got a reminder that my livejournal account will need renewing in 5 days, and I'm thinking I will go back to an unpaid plus account

The advertising can be pretty bad. The easiest way to see what it looks like is to log out and then navigate around a few of your favourite LJ coms/some journals of friends who do not have paid accounts.
As to the banner I don't think you'd lose it. I think I have mates without paid LJs who still have customized headers, they just have advertising too.
I logged out and surfed to a few journals and coms, but didn't see a single ad! Could the firefox ad blocker be the reason? Though I think there should be an empty box or something, where the ad would normally be located.
Hmmm, I don't know. I only started using Firefox a few months ago but I suppose it's possible, particularly if there's an empty box showing. I don't think any of the Pros LJ websites are paid sites so if you didn't see any ads then it does look like Firefox will save you. *g*
There used to be a lot of issues with how much customisation you could do to your LJ if it's an unpaid account but your LJ looks like one of the basic LJ designs and I do think you can change the header no matter what, it might just shift a bit depending on where that advertising "box" ends up. If you save all of your stuff like your header before your account expires if it disappears/advertising shows up that you don't want you could always sign up again anyway. *g*
