First thing to do is to scan for 'malware'.

Download and run Spybot S&D 1.60 click here: FileForum | Spybot - Search & Destroy (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spybot_Search_and_Destroy/1043809773/1)

download Spyware Blaster. Click here: SpywareBlaster - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com (http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3000-8022_4-10196637.html)

I would also recommend Adaware 2008 click here: Get Ad-Aware 2008 Plus for Free with Lavasoft and TrialPay - Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php)

All these are free. install them ,update them and run them. Clean up your PC and be sure to repeat this process every two weeks. Its a nasty world out there.

If this does not fix your Firefox then uninstall it vai the control panel/add remove programs. Download a fresh up to date copy and install that..

Let us know how you get one.
