Why does http://cherchi.biz/ show up in a new tab even though I have FireFox set to a blank page? How can I fix?

I think this is from an Add-on I got from the Add-on page, but I cannot find how to get rid of it on the Firefox website, internet searching, or searching my computer for a program or files. Please help!!!

Confirmed by one of the replies, I deleted Add-on and http://cherchi.biz/ no longer shows.

Please do not add these kinds of Add-ons to Up and Coming in the future...

hello st0nesn4ke, you can disable or remove any installed extensions under firefox > addons > extensions.

Disable or remove Add-ons

afterwards you also might want to install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Is there a way to see which Add-on put it on my computer? (It was today) Or should I just uninstall all of the ones I added today?

no, there's no way to see that automatically unfortunately. in this case i'd disable all recently installed extensions & re-enable them one by one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step) until you find the culprit.

edit: ok, thanks for reporting...
