Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

It seems like you have some malware on your computer. Can you try doing a reset of Firefox which will hopefully remove it.
Ran all the malware programs and anti-virus programs and removed whatever they found, but problem still exists.
