I have a question: Could a porno site have been put on my "recently bookmarked" setting without me actually saving it there? Can this happen without the computer user's help?
I was recently in Kentucky, logged in to my computer and in my "recently bookmarked" section, there were 5 different websites having to do with porn. Could they have been placed there without someone actually saving them there?

They would have to be manually bookmarked if they are in Recently Bookmarked. See Bookmarks in Firefox and Smart Bookmark folders
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
