Hello Kashan Siddiqui here, Well from a week or 2 my firefox has been acting weird as it showing too many adult ads whenever i search something or possibly anything. It is becoming a problem as my siblings also needs to use the laptop plus sometimes my parent! Need a solution! thanks!

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
