Unwanted Tab "Launchpage.org" opening everytime I open firefox
Hello firefox users. an Unwanted Tab "Launchpage.org" is opening everytime I open firefox. im pretty sure this is malware but can'r remove it/find anything related to it in control panel/browser settings, tried to trouble shoot through google but no help. it opens up even if ive saved google as my homepage.
please lemme know if this can be fixed without resetting firefox to defaults
