After I reset Firefox it now opens in a search page with a large flashing ad to "clean up PC problems" and I don't trust clicking on it. This all began with an encounter with some MXDJ program, if that helps.

Chosen solution

No mozilla does NO advertising.

Check for malware

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