Once a day or so when I leave my browser open and go do something for a few minutes, I come back to an extra tab open labeled "Sponsorship" with this web address http://big.deluxeforthefuture.com/g/?ilmernzkvtaz=0013A908DA1F4CDA&pu=d29yZHByZXNzLmNvbQ==&s=firefox&nm=ilmernzkvtaz

the page is completely blank, so I haven't scrubbed my whole browser like usual.

I'd like to report it or clear it out somehow, but haven't found what to do.

Thanks for your help!

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
  3. In the bar above type in browser.newtab.url
  4. Right click the first result and select Reset

Thanks for the careful instructions and your time. I did everything and it worked perfectly right up to the "right click and select Reset". The Reset isn't in bold, so I can't select it. Now what?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Does anything come up if you search for that site on the about:config page?

cor-el, nothing popped out at me in safemode and I couldn't find anything by searching about:config.

I'll probably just reset the browser settings when I get annoyed enough.

Thanks for both your help. :-)
