several programs appeared, without anyone installing them, on my desktop; uninstalled them; noticed thephonesupport.com appeared. I cannot find a way to uninstall it. It does not appear in my list of programs. I don't find any option to delete or uninstall on their page. How do I uninstall it????

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
