You downloaded something that adds that. Not a forum issue.

Check your Firefox add-ons. I think you have something installed/added that buggers your page up.
I had something like this once, and ive seen others have it too on the forum. Im using Firefox as well.

Also, moved to correct section.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+A > click "extensions" in the sidebar > disable any extensions you don't recognize. Upload a screenshot of your extensions page here if you want someone to see what is bad or not.

This, but also just to make sure check your installed programs in Configuration settings, there might be toolbars or adware installed.

I'll just add my 2 cents to the post. Found some adware extension from my firefox too. (Perhaps same source or pure coincidence?) Destroyed them with malwarebytes.

If you told me when I was on teamviewer with you I would have sorted that out for you D: Xfire me if you want.

Anyway that could be a hosts file hijack, DNS hijack, or some hidden plugin (not extension). Try going to
chrome://plugins/
and see if there's anything in there. If there is, it's highly likely you have other malicious software on your computer. Heck there's a high chance either way.

Its usually always addons, either from installing normal windows software. Thats what ive noticed from my experience anyway.

Also i found 3 suspicus looking folders in ProgramData, they were some advertising shit. I kinda miss the way how linux permission tree is made. Its alot more secure and better than window's dictatorship
