AFTER OPENING THE BROWSER A SECOND BROWSER OPEnS ON ITS OWN
AFTER OPENING THE BROWSER A SECOND BROWSER OPEnS ON ITS OWN. It is usually trying to sell me cars or somthing like that. I have completely uninstalled Firefox twice. After uninstalling I search for any Firefox Mozilla files and delete, restart and reinstall Firefox. Within hours I get multiple sites open on their own. I use Google for my home page and search engine.

With all due respect, your problem sounds very malware-ish. Supplementing the current staff with a few temps may be worth your time.

I'm not sure what refers to. It seems to be cleaning cookies and history. Also, it's dated 17-02-23, which sounds like 2017-Feb-23 ??
