When I'm using mozilla firefox open some sites without my permission. And when I'm not using the browser it opens sites alone too. I have passed anti-virus and removed all unneeded extensions him. How do I make it stop opening these sites alone? PS: I've tried blocking cockies and images, but to no avail. I hope you can help me please. thank you!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
