Firefox is a web browser, not an e-mail provider. I'd suggest you spend some time adjusting the spam filters in your e-mail provider, unfortunately once you are on one spam list you will eventually be on all of them as they sell your e-mail address.
I'd also suggest you scan for malware on your computer, Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
