I accidentally installed a program that hijacks Firefox home page and adds keep popping up all over the placed. The only way I can get rid of it is to exit firefox. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstall program freezes up so I have to reboot. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Can anyone help me? Thank You.

Hello, try installing a free anti-malware to try to get rid of this PUP, or Adware.
