Why does Firefox 55.0.3 32 bit keep getting hijacked by www.baigaanimaspace.org?
I am using Firefox 55.0.3 32-bit for Windows 7 PRO for general browsing to rather benign websites when suddenly a popup screen with all the Firefox images tells me that in have to install an emergency patch. The website that is in the URL is www.baigaanimaspace.org. How can I stop these annoying hijacks from happening, without having to uninstall, clear the registry and reinstall?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.
If you think there is a problem in the computer itself;
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.
