Firefox and addons updated, I didn't choose any new add ons. All day when I open a new tab it goes to http://chablang.com/search.php. It also randomly opens new tabs to its search page for random words (aka 'general' tab clicked on a legitimate site causes chablang to open searching for general) None of my spyware, adware or anti virus detects the cause

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Sounds like you may have picked up some malware. Look at the links at the bottom of the following link and note all of the "work-at-home" type addresses that are closely associated with chablang.com: http://wikilinky.org/www.chablang.com . Also, look at this: http://www.robtex.com/dns/chablang.com.html#summary_chablang_com

REMEMBER: Never run more than 1 Firewall at a time. Never run more than 1 anti-virus/anti-spyware application in an active state at a time. More than 1 of each ~~red:may~~ interfere with one another and canel out any protection.

Do a thorough malware scan Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode", but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

I went into my addons and removed "Dynamic Media 3.0" and now have no issues. Either it's a freak thing or that fixed it. I'm not sure where I picked it up though; so, I'm crossing my fingers I won't run across it again.
