Why are so many extranuous windows apearing in firefox
Everytime I use firefox and try to do something a new window appers trying to sell somthing or offer some other service not requested. It did not do this previously, why is it now doing it? & how can I stop it? I have used firefox for a number of years because I though it was the best, however if you cannot stop these extraneous windows appearing I will have to use something else, maybe Google Chrome

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
