Hi !
That 'newtab.club' is a browser hijacker - would you please do this :
Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g. :
SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito Search for Fire Fox 1.6 SafeSearch ch SafeSearch net Converter.onesearch org File Convertor and Search Addon Findwide Search Engine 1.7
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows Control Panel.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

Separate issue : Your system details show that you need to update your Adobe Flash Player - you are running a very old version, which can cause major problems. Would you please uninstall your current version and install the latest version, which is 27.0.0.187
