WinXP Pro. How do I get rid of something called 'SELECTIONLINKS' and 'SUPERFISH'? They do not show up as add-ons or extensions, nor do they show up in add/remove programs. I'm also getting a bunch of blank 'FIREFOX' windows. HELP!!!

hello, please try to reset firefox and see if this can address the issue...

afterwards run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

Do you have FoxLingo?

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

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