Click 2 Staus King page keeps opening when I open a new tab. Why?

Question

When in News.com site and I open an article a seperate window opens as Click2status king. I can have multiple windows open with this. Sometimes opening a new tab for a previous site also causes this to open. I am worried that this is not safe and somebody is monitoring my keystrokes. It has been happening for a few weeks. I have scanned with Kaspersky and no threats are found. The page is blank except for the header.

Answer 1

In the address bar type '''about:config''' then click on I will be careful set your''' browser.newtab.url''' preference to "about:newtab" .
To set it, right click on '''browser.newtab.url''' then click on Modify and set the value and save it.
