hello, it looks like you have some forms of adware/malware present on your system, so please perform all those steps::

  1. Download and install the latest version of firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
  2. refresh firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
