Firefox loading without user interaction
Afternoon Sir:
I will boot my computer and let it set, or start play my MMO. and after approximately 5-10 min fire fox will automatically come up with this Web site: http://staple.officebusinessupplies.com/t/?ilmernzkvtazn=2A7C8F28B9667EB3&pu=&s=D-firefox&nm=ilmernzkvtazn&t=
How do I get to stop doing that. I have Reset firefox to manufacture resets and it still does it. Thanks for your assistance Sincerely Eugene C Bannon

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon!
Does this happen at the same time every day, regardless of when you start Firefox? That would be similar to the DSite problem. Check out these threads:
I assume you posted from a different Firefox that you didn't Reset because you have several extensions listed. If you reinstalled all of those after your Reset, try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here for 24 hours and see whether that helps:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If a link appears above an extension to restart Firefox, you can wait until you've completed your work on the list and do that as the last step.
Any change?
