Firefox Won't Show CAPTCHA Even After Fresh Install
Among other things (popup login windows, etc), Firefox won't show CAPTCHA images even after a fresh install with all default settings. I tried cleaning my computer with the recommended spyware / adware removal programs (AdwCleaner and Kapersky) and one of them did the trick for about an hour, but then Firefox went back to not showing the CAPTCHAs again. Is there a permanent fix for this?

Is the problem still there?Yes, the CAPTCHAs still do not show up when booting in Safe Mode.
As a test, disable your protection programs.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

On top of the original issue, Firefox also opens unwanted popup windows when clicking a link (ie the link does not take me to the requested website, but some other ad website) or even the body of a webpage, where there is no content.

Ran all the antivirus stuff and SAS seems to have fixed the problem (for now, at least). Thank you for your help!
So everything is okay now?
