Certain web site and pop-up windows keep opening: the web site open on a new page. Te do this without my request or consent. How can I stop them doing this - I know the web sites' addresses?

When does this happen?

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

My problem is nothing to do with anything I have installed - as far as I know. New windows in Firefox open up, mostly advertising betting, dating sites, on-line porn etc.

Maybe check for malware.
