Since Firefox upgraded to 3.6.12 I have been having a separate Firefox window open everytime I open up Firefox. This separate window has some kind of advertisement. I click on that separate page to close it out and sometimes it also closes out the original I opened up, sometimes it doesn't. It is getting very frustrating to have these other sites just open up and I have to keep closing them out. I have checked my pop-up blocker and it is turned on...but this really is not a pop-up. So how do I get these advertisements to stop showing up?

Sounds like Malware.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They 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. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.)
