hi, unfortunately this sounds like an issue caused by adware/malware. please try to launch firefox in safemode once, then go to the firefox menu ≡ > add-ons > extensions panel & remove any suspicious entries (things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, toolbars, etc).
