Sometimes when I open my browser, I will haer music , and then I find another window has opened underneath and is showing a music video asking me to vote for that performer. I believe the website is called VUBE..I have never intentionally gone there, and don't normally look at music videos. I want to get them off my computer and stop them from bothering me.

Hello,

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
