Hello jb,
Unfortunately you've picked up some malware, that you will of course want to get rid of.
Would you please do this :
Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Options => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything that looks unfamiliar or suspicious.
Do the same in Windows Control Panel.
Next step is to run malwarescans - further information can be found in this article :

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

Thank-you so much *McCoy* but there is nothing on Add-ons Manager and control panel. you can see on image. And please let me know am i compromised or my passwords.
Hi jb,
From a quick search is looks like dinoraptzor is a virus that also hijacks the browser. I'd recommend running some Virus software on your computer to remove it. Running Windows defender may be enough, but I don't know for sure.
If you need more help, here's the search I did:

There's various guides there, but you might just want to use a virus application as it should be simpler.

Did you run the malware scans, as mentioned in my post ? And did you check what's mentioned in my last link ?
Yes i did the same and i found "dinoraptzor" malware on registry with the help of SpyHunter5 and deleted that. Now am i safe and the main question is, are all the password saved in Firefox are compromised please tell me and any chance of happening that thing again? and if possible precautions please... Thank-you

You don't have to worry about your passwords - they are not compromised.
The only thing one can do to prevent these things from happening is to be extra careful when and on what to click - just don't click on anything that looks unfamiliar to you; that you didn't search for yourself. Unfortunatley a virus often just sneaks in and there's nothing else one can do than to be extra careful, and maybe let malwarebytes run a scan once a month. Doing that and with Windows built-in Defender, you're pretty safe.
