The first thing that comes up on the monitor is the Firefox browser. If I touch for example the letter f, a word for porn comes up. Several other letters bring up other porn subjects. 

   I want to eliminate that problem and clear that mess out, but can't. History shows no history to clear.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Are any of the websites that appear when you type those letters saved as a bookmark?
