Ever since the update to 29.0 I have been inundated with unwanted pop-up ads that open as-and-when. Along with this problem I find a 'Search with Bing' bar and an e-book kind corner tag.

hello, you have malicious addons present. please try these steps:

  1. reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to the firefox menu New Fx Menu > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. 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.
