Unwanted popups whenever any website is opened.

Hi
This is MM, I have an issue which is that whenever I open any website I see worlds of popups come on to my page that take almost my whole screen.
Then it takes me almost 1 Minute to remove them first (which inturn opens other website in other tabs) [all unnecessary content].
I believe I have some serious virus in my computer.
I don't want to install any anti virus, I have Microsoft essential already installed.
Could someone please help me in resolving this issue.
P.S : I have already tried all the popup blockers form all over the internet with no luck.
Pease assist with this.
Regards
MM

Hi MM,
Will the present issue only occur with the Internet Explorer ?
Please take the following steps to have a troubleshoot :
1.Clear the browser cache and then have a check.
Tools\Safety\Delete Browsing history
2.The issue maybe caused by the malicious add-ons ,we can open the Internet Explorer without Add-ons to have a check.
run "iexplore.exe -extoff" to open the Internet Explorer without add-ons to have a check .
3.Resetting the Internet Explore to get a original setting to have a check.
4.Run a full scan of the whole system with the antivirus software to ensure the safety of the system.
Best regards

Whenever I try to open Firefox to any website, or open a new tab, I get a blank tab that will not redirect to a website entered in the URL bar. Help?

I am on an HP pavilion running Windows7, and for the past couple of days, whenever I try to open the FireFox browser, or a new tab, all I get is a blank screen. The URL bar is empty, and gives the prompt: type an address. When I try to type in the address, and hit either the enter button, or the go button on the browser, I get a spinning circle, and then no response.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

When clicking on a button on any website, that opens a new window in Internet Explorer, nothing happens. I have unchecked the " block pop ups" box, but that didn't help.

This happened for example when clicking on "printable view" on my Roadrunner webmail.

Thanks
My system is Windows 7 SP1 fully updated with Norton 360 a/v
My problem is as follows:
Installed Firefox with no difficulty
It opened normally
Used and setup Google News UK as default page with no difficuly and page opened normally.
But then trried to open individual items in Google News and every time got message Internet Explorer cannot open this site
Set up a bare Windows 7 SP1 drive and installed Firefox and continued with same message when opening items on the page
I also use both MSN and Yahoo browsers and neither have any problems
I have repeated the process in Windows 8 beta with the same result

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Hangs with Javascript busy or stopped error on every website I open

I have firefox 20.0.1 and Java SE 7 U21 10.21.2.11 Plugin installed..I don't have any older versions of Java installed..I have checked and there are no older java consoles or plugins..
For last couple of day..for any website I open (Facebook.com, Espncricinfo.com, dx.com, even Support.mozilla.org or any mozilla troubleshoot page searched through google).. Firefox hangs..then gives me a popup error window with following message;
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." (message is followed by the path of .js script file..different filename for different site)
I disabled Java plugin from "extentions" , restarted firefox and opened facebook. I expected to open facebook properly and get a "no java installed or enable java" error at the most but instead same thing happened and got the same error message..
Even after disabling Java plugin I am getting same error on all websites...
Infact other than opening google and searching I cannot use firefox for any other website..
Even this message I am posting using Opera because firefox wont let me open this page also..
Anyone has any solution?

I have solved this issue..
First of all thanks everyone for suggestions...
Thing is I used to use firefox without any added extensions or add-ons..so my firefox only had plugins/add-ons/extensions installed automatically by programs.. i.e. Flash, Java SE, QuickTime and Foxit Reader plugin..
As previously stated..disabling any or all of thse plugins was not solving the issue..
So I backed up my bookmarks..
I uninstalled firefox... removed all settings and data and profiles...removed any leftover files too...
Then I re-installed firefox using "Run as Administrator" ....
And the issue is solved....
the Flash, QuickTime, Java SE and Reader plugins were automatically enabled after first use...
And so far I have opened lots of websites (which used to hang and give error window) without any issue..I have also played flash games online...and accessed content that needs Javascript enabled..
And I am typing this reply using Firefox only...which was not possible when I had the issue...
I don't know exactly what or why the problem was...but it is solved now..

When typing in a website after opening in a tab, the cursor focuses to the address bar and makes logging to things difficult, how do I change this?

As stated in the question on any website I open regardless of whether it is a new tab or just a new destination, the cursor focuses on the address bar and makes logging in to sites very infuriating. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the help, it didn't help with this particular problem. I figured it out though, I had an issue with the AVG safe search. I had to just delete the file in the program files x86.

Unable to open any websites from the search engines. the ones I have tried are google, yahoo and ask. They opened until recently. The popup says" Firefox can't establish connection to the server." Ask worked last night but is not working now.

When I try to open a web site from one of the search engines a pop up shows stating that Firefox can't establish connection to the server. I can't open any websites through any of the search engines.

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

New Firefox 8 opens in 'about:home' page and whenever I enter any website I get into Google other than Google, I get a 404-Not Found error. Have tried all suggestions found in help so far with no fix.

Entering any website, such as www.facebook.com or www.yahoo.com, for example, directly onto the address bar reads a 404 error. Entering them onto the Google entry bar, I get a Google page that looks more like Ask.com before getting a 404 error when clicking onto it.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Whenever i open any website with fire fox from my laptop,the website will open without images and graphics.what do i do?

it all started yesterday.i have been enjoying my browsing with firefox up untill yesterday.when ever i come a website using firefox, the website will open but the graphic in the website will appear as plain text and ALL images in the website will not appear.Thus the website will appear as blank with just plain text.in site such as yahoomail and facebook,the text will appear scattered and no image will appear.tried downloading the latest firefox version,but the file could not be install because it is always coming as corrupted file.what do i do?

I'm having this issue too. But no matter what I do, it doesnt seem to be fixed. The images aren't showing up on my Facebook, but its only the profile pictures. I can turn off my computer, and load it up again, but they still won't show up. And the images show up on other computers and on my phone but they won't show up on my computer. And I can't figure out how to fix it.
If anyone knows how to fix this, Please help. I wan't to see my friends profile pictures again. Please, Please, Please.... Please!! Help!
Thanks,
Zeek

Email or contact box is no longer opening when I click on a link within any website

whenever I click on any link withing any website that should and always had either opened an email, contact us section withing that website, or my default email, nothing happens. example, going to a website that has a link for contact us, I click on the obvious link and nothing happens. This is not just happening within one website, but every site that I go to. Absolutely nothing happens when I click on links that are obvious links that should direct you to either another area or open an email within every website I go to. This started happening about 6 weeks ago, now in the last week, my firefox keeps crashing for no reason. I use a mac OS X 10.4.11.. I have made no changes to my system, have not downloaded any new programs, and everything else is working fine with my mac.

Further to jscher2000's suggestion yesterday: I think I misunderstood the suggestion, which I didn't find very clear. I've now discovered that if I send a Firefox open window (with one or more open tabs) to hide in the dock first, then clicking on a link twice (once to bring the mail program to the front and again to open the link), this will cause the hidden tab/s to come out of hiding AND a new tab for the link will open. Cumbersome, and I still maintain there is a bug in version 32, but this workaround is at least quicker than copying and pasting the link.
Thanks to cor-el and jscher2000 for your responses.

I updated to Firefox 4 and now I get a Firefox has stopped working message whenever I try to load any websites.

I updated to Firefox 4 and now I get a Firefox has stopped working mesage whenever I try to load any websites. I updated my video driver and cleared my history to see if that would help. I looked for a crash ID on the homepage, but the last registered crash is from February. I also tried to open in Firefox safe mode, but the problem continued to occur. I'm not sure what to do next, please help!
