When I click on a new web address it will show in a small box of something that is not related to the site. You can click on where you want to go and it will take you to another site that is not related. A box come up all the time that I need to update my video driver. This happens on all versions of FoxFire. Is this something you added? If so, it is extremely upsetting when you want to go and end someplace else.

No, Firefox doesn't add garbage like that. More than likely you picked up a dose of Malware.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
