Whenever I'm on firefox ...
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
Everytime I use firefox, this page opens in a new tab at least once every five minutes. It's super annoying and is getting in the way of everything I do. I find myself using my lap top instead of dealing with it. What can I do to stop this from popping up? Here's the page it pulls up:

That's a file located on your hard drive, in an area usually reserved for user files: C:\Documents and Settings\Cody.CODYCASE\ . Does that name sound familiar?
