Every now and then I get a java script file that wants me to run it. I don't trust it. The URL is: https://eakeusobusygirls.net/48140299213200/83d1fb79dee6c1f4
When I open firefox, at least once a week I get a pop up that wants me to run a java script file. The URL is: https://eakeusobusygirls.net/48140299213200/83d1fb79dee6c1f41b30abbdf0d4fa14/cf11521cd50bc891a5f68af74f3b2197.html
Instead of my home page - this shows up - so I'm wondering why it's appearing and if it can be stopped.
I end up closing the browser, and then when I reopened it, my "real" homepage comes up.
thanks

This was not due to malware but a fake scam page triggered by some ads to try and trick inexperienced Firefox users on Windows into downloading and running this fake firefox-patch.js file.

If you don't know what it is, Don't Use It.
Is this once in a great while, or often?
You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

It's happening because there are scammers on this planet who will change their URL on a daily basis. To prevent this from happening again, you could consider installing this add-on :
