Hi guys, been using firefox since however long ive had a computer. Best browser and fits all my needs. Recently lost my phone and needed to use my Snapchat so, foolishly, i decided to see if there was any apps for pc that would work. Nope, downloaded one and it has absolutely flooded my firefox with advertisements and just general stuff that isnt right. Dont feel safe on it at all, tried 3 different malware removers and none have worked. Have also un installed firefox completely. Chrome seems to work and not show any of these adverts but i would really like to get back to my firefox.
