Hi,

I'm sorry you are having this problem with Firefox, I did a bit of research and I think you have been infected with malicious software, unfortunately. Please follow the instructions for installing the malware checkers at the end of the following support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

Also, here is a post from a top 10 contributor to our Firefox support forum with similar instructions for dealing with malware of this kind: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/769664#answer-123027

Regards, Michelle
