hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
  2. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  3. finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

Sure User :)

First,Thanks for liking our product. Second,Move your cursor to upper-left corner. Look for tools over there. Then,Go to addons and disable it.Restart your browser. Then Whoops your old browser is back.  :) You can also edit other addons from there too.

Thanks for asking a question, At your service always, Mozilla
