You can check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

i have searched about this virus named malware but i didn't found any thing i use kaspersky pure v 3.0 .....?!
you can also right-click the icon that you're using to launch firefox, go to settings & then shortcut & make sure that the website in question is not appended after the file-path to firefox.exe.
i did it too but there isn't any result
Did you ever check for that user.js file, and checked for malware with all of the programs cor-el suggested?
