Hi, this sounds like a malware issue, so you can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista if you don't already have one. Windows 8/10 have antivirus protection built-in.

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

You can also check your Firefox Desktop shortcut for corruption: Right click on it > Properties, and in Target, make sure there is nothing other than Firefox. If there is, delete that part of it. Or if it's easier, you can just delete it and recreate a new shortcut. More: Wrong home page opens when I start Firefox - How to fix.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
