After I close Firefox down I often return to my computer to find it back open usually with an ad of some sort for spyware removal, or malware. I have run avg numerous times but it has not detected any viruses. I have also disabled many addons from firefox. One time I closed firefox came back and some super mario bros webpage was playing.

hello warpigdave, please also run a scan with different other tools specialised in adware and browser hijackers, like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

Web browsers will open when they are told to. By the user, or a program.
