How can I stop Firefox activating on its own while I'm off-line and bringing a porn web site with it on another page?

While I am, for example, writing or reading something, my Firefox page appears on screen, unrequested, in front of another page with a porn website on it. I click it off both pages, click the "Exit Firefox" option on my tool bar, but the same thing happen again in a short time.

Suggestions?
