When I open the browser, it automatically tries to log in to online banking
Even though I have done the following, when I open Mozilla Firefox, it automatically attempts to log in to banking (then pops up a message saying the access details entered are wrong): I have: - Changed homepage to "blank page" - Run antivirus "deep scan" - Cleared cookies, passwords, history etc - Set security settings to highest possible. It also happened when I opened my Internet system control center, it asked for log in details, even though it was not supposed to.
It doesn't happen on Chrome.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
If you start Firefox in the following way, does it still go to your bank's site?
From the Windows 8.1 start screen (second page, the one with the small icons), use Run (or hold down the Windows key on the keyboard and tap R) and type or paste:
firefox.exe "about:blank"
