Firefox did not restore the lasts wanted tabs, but restore unwanted "advertising windows" instead. Help!!

Is it possible to restore the tabs I want?

And by the way, how can I stop the webpage to open an advertising in the new windows? It so annoying. :(

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
