Firefox allowing advertising popups

[wulf109]

I'm getting small add popups all over with Firefox 33. I'm not getting them in Chrome. Is there something wrong in Firefox? Most pf the adds refer to "webtosave". Firefox is also opening second tab when I start Firefox,it seems to be another add but opening in a new tab.

Looks like your machine has been infected

Have you been to some web site which convinced you to install something because otherwise that web site
"would not function properly with your browser" (or similar bûllshît)

If I post more than once I will get more help faster!!!

Try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malwarem make sure you have a good up to date antivirus and install Ad Block Plus to firefox!!

And I have seen supposedly legit software install adware/crapware because people do not pay attention when installing stuff!!!!!!

Sounds like you got a malicious addon,check your tools/add-ons and delete it if possible.If you can't then you need to manually delete the file,there's a lot of help on google with this type of addon and removal.

Also please don't crosspost,i deleted your othert thread.

I ran a free Avast scan and it removed the addons causing the problem. I normally use MalwarebytesPro and Winpatrol. Guess I'll and Avast. My searching found the program was from "Slimware" and was connected to Google Chrome and most likely was installed by google Chrome. Oddly it infected Firefox but not Chrome. It did not appear in Firefox addons.
