All of a sudden, when I open any link on the firefox browser, I get an automatic opening of some junk page, as below:

http://jdj.openmace.net/sd/wrap-0.01.html?u=https%3A%2F%2Fadsrvmedia.adk2.co%2Fadsrvmedia%2Fscripts%2Fdirect%2Fdirect.html%3Fa%3D21871100%26amp%3Bsecure%3Dtrue%26amp%3Bsize%3D800x600%26amp%3Bci%3D1%26amp%3Bserverdomain%3Dads.adsrvmedia.com%26amp%3Bcontext%3Dc21801153

Deleting the page does no good, as it pops up when I click on the next link or the browser page.

I believe I have all the plugins to prevent this, but am now at a loss of how to prevent it. It was ok until a day or two ago.

Hello,

Start Firefox in Safe Mode

At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled....

Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog.

Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox.


Clicking the Start in Safe Mode button will temporarily disable your extensions and themes, turn off hardware acceleration and reset toolbar and button customizations. When you leave Safe Mode and start Firefox up normally.

If the problem vanishes after this then one of your extension may be causing the problem.

For more help please see:

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode


Please also run a full scan of your system with different security tools like :
