I recently downloaded firefox to my new laptop and it is annoying to have my searches redirected, constant ads popping up telling me to install software.

I do not understand why this is happening, but I do not have time to constantly close redirects and popups, I cna always go back to my old browser, Google Chrome but i wanted to support Firefox. why can't you fix it at your end?

hello, you have a malicious addon present in your firefox profile. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
