Cannot search site once found with firefox
I find a site with Firefox, once I get there, I get these pop ups, though I have a pop up blocker on, and I cannot search the site. For example, Harbor Freight tools. I get on the site and then can't search the site. It might be their site that is the problem, but I'm not sure. Further, why is it that when I download a new version of your software, all this junk comes along, like Optimizer Pro, or some other stuff I don't need. I go back and take most of it out, as it's annoying and slows down things. Thanks.

hello, only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for updates in firefox > help > about firefox).
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
