I open FF to read mail eg, then new tab auto opens for MSNfwlink
After WIN10 did it's usual 2nd tues of the month update (9/2017) when I open FF to read yahoo mail a new tab will open and takes me to goMSNfwlink/hotmail/outlook etc. and MSN web site opens.
Mail tab remains unaffected.
Ok, it just did it while I am here (3X) Grrrrrrr. So it's not just mail page. My homepage is "blank page" I can find my way around without any help with just my bookmarks and search functions.
Windows will not allow me to revert to a saved restore point, so I can't do that. Error msg says 10 days have lapsed can't go back, contact sysadmin. More Grrrrrr : OS is Win10 FF 55.0 browser (used FF for years) Only add on are adaware and ublock Shockwave is disabled Ran MWB and Panda, no infections. Ready to edit reg, please point the way! thx in advance
Edited to add reg edit attempt

Did research and found fix for same problem for Chrome on techdows.com
It apparently works for FF also.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
I changed EnableActiveProbing value to 0 rebooted
So far so good.
Tried to upload screen shot but Comcast is still recovering from hurricane Irma, my up speed really sux.
What really really sux is this happening at all. Might not be MSN's fault but I am blaming them anyway.
Happy Foxer again :)
