Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
Please scan with all programs.
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
thanks for your replied , i installed all of programs and the Microsoft Security Essentials and scanned many time and i removed any threats appeared but no thing changed ,and i reset the Firefox too . i don't know if this problem happens because there is a certain virus and these program can't find it ??!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Each program detects different malware, so check with all that you haven't tried yet.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
