Please view my screen cap re this warning. Whenever I open Firefox, this shows and won't leave. It's not even correct grammar! When I try to click the link on the bottom of the page, it jumps to the other side!'

I have screen caps to send but don't know how to send them to you.

Aha! Here is the screen cap regarding the above question.

hello LeBaroness, please remove the YoutubeAdblocker 1.0 (ofaq6w7q@rjawyyrkoilsxp.com) extension that you have installed, which might be malicious and also 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.
