Firefox is opening new tabs on corrupted sites on it's own

I am using Firefox on a Samsung NC10 running XP Professional. About 4 weeks ago I was hit with a fake Malware virus, which I have successfully removed using Malwarebytes and Registry Mechanic. Since then Firefox is periodically opening new tabs for no reason which invariably take me to unsafe corrupted websites. Can you tell me how I can stop this happening

I have solved this problem on my computer using the Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool from here:

My computer was also unable to access the Microsoft update site, so I had to use another computer and a usb drive. I ran a full scan which took several hours, but it found an infection that Malwarebytes and AVG didn't. Following the scan I was able to update from Microsoft update and, so far, no more spurious pages starting on their own
