My kids use this computer yet whenever they open firefox a window comes up, one without toolbars, which is a porn site. I need to figure out how to prevent this from auto-loading.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I also just closed all of the Firefox windows without saving and that resolved the issue. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. But thanks!
