When i open Mozilla, and then select a new tab, i get a website in the toolbar, that wants to load. This is not a website that i want to load. I do get a message from Firefox which tells me that it has stopped this website from automaticly redirecting to another website, but how do i get rid of this item in the toolbar permanently. My Norton antivirus does not stop it. I downloaded Malwarebytes, but that did not pick it up either When l selected a new tab previously, .I used to get blocks of websites that i used regularly shown. I no longer get these. How do i fix it please. I had thought of uninstalling and then re-installing Firefox but doubt this would fix it. Thank you for any advice

Let's start with this;

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
