Well lately,since last week?...maybe I have this problem.

I can be in the middle of reading something online or watching a vid and BOOM the window closes.When I re-open it,there is one more tab which shows me the name of an add on and wants me to install it.This happens like all the time now and I've had it.I tried deleting the extensions folder but it keeps on recreating itself.

How do I stop this?Really?

Hi, this sounds as if malware has got in, so please have a work through the article - Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware, and hopefully it will resolve your annoying problem.
