Hello,

First check your addon maybe one of them is the problem, start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if is a addon:

Try change your home page in about:config page, search for "browser.startup.homepage" , change its value to about:home(default) or about:blank(blank page) or one link that you want

Case the problem continued try scann your PC:

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.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
