deadlogics Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Wow! I'm surprised to hear that this has happened to Firefox. It's typical for IE. Have you tried any adware remover tool? Check what extensions you have installed (Tools->Extensions). You might have accidentally installed some extension you don't want. Also, check the processes in the Task Manager for anything suspicious. There might be a background running program that is messing up with your browser.
