How do I block unwanted url addresses from opening automatically?
How do I block unwanted url addresses from opening automatically? The only help I can see is to purchase or load add-ons. Is there no control for the user as to addresses that I doi not want opening?

hi, on a clean system url addresses shouldn't open up on their own in the first place. maybe there's adware already on your device, so please perform all the following steps:
- reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
