Hello,
Please see the article below for instructions to reset Firefox.
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
But what problems are you having specifically? Resetting Firefox won't necessarily fix a problem caused by a virus because until you remove the virus it will be able to make changes to your Firefox settings again.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v24. To get the latest security fixes you should update to the latest version (25):
Update Firefox to the latest release
Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
