I want to know WHY I am getting pop ups, spam windows and a host of other crap when I am browsing the internet? I use 2 other browsers and do NOT get the crap I get from Firefox. I am sick and tired of naked ladies and a host of other items that open a new window.

this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
