New browser windows opening automatically

I-Firefox Browser security

Lately, I have been noticing that new Firefox browser windows (not a new tab, a new window) have been opening seemingly randomly on me. The sites in these new browser windows are always commercial in nature and seemingly random in subject matter. I am not aware of having clicked on anything that would cause the new browser windows to open. I need to know how to block this from happening; I am unable to figure it out in the various Firefox Settings.

Hi,

Try disabling your extensions and see if the issue persists.
