Everytime i open up fire fox i am redirected to about 6000 ads and other sites that won't let me navigate anywhere else
All I want to be able to do is go on the internet and not get redirected all the time. even if i manage to get into a website ads are all over the page and then they redirect me to another page and won't let me go back to where i was. so i lose my place and then i have to shut down and start over all again. what happened? Before i could peacefully be online but now its a chore.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
