Sounds that you have picked up some malware. You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

I notice that you still use Firefox 37, so also please update to the current release.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
