With every click I make in Firefox a new tab/URL opens which obviously contains fake or spam content (domaincdn.xyz). It feels like a virus but my virus scanner cannot detect anything. What can I do to fix the problem?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
