I search with Firefox, find what I am looking for, then other web pages open automatically page after page up to 20 new pages. How do I stop it?
Today, when searching on firefox, I found the site i wanted, then automatically several web pages started opening. PC Doctor being one. then a gaming page, then just more and more junk sites. How can I stop this from happening. It has only started today.

hi, this might be an issue caused by adware/malware on your system, so please perform all these steps:
- reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- 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.
