The unwanted Sites open in Firefox

You must do something about websites unwanted opening and shouting promotional stuff with us... or I will be dropping Firefox after using it for 10 years. And a lot of esoteric instructions won't cut... it takes just an option of blocking as Spamfighter in an e-mail program.

Dadi is certainly right, it probably is an adware and has nothing to do with Firefox itself, but is rather foreign, unwanted software that is installed by a third party to spit out ads to you. Follow the instructions to get rid of.

While you're there you may also try to install AdBlock Plus to help reduce the ads you see. It blocks pop-ups, but it will limit the ads on the pages you are viewing.

You can also try to open your Firefox preferences, by going to the 'Content' tab, and ensure that this ' block jump - rises "is checked. This will help to minimize these intrusive windows. If she already checked that also confirms that it is adware.
