Foxfire under windows 8 has turned out to be an advertising engine. I spend to much time deleting and or trying to delete ads. Do i have to go back to Explorer, which i hate. Al Howard, ajhpmp@pmbypros.com

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

For the ads use this addons ABP

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
