hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your system.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
  2. run a full scan of your system with security tools like malwarebytes anti-malware , which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
