I'd try to remove FF completely and reinstall. Delete any and all plugins and extensions. While that might not do anything, it is worth a try.
Not really sure otherwise. MalwareBytes is pretty good but it can miss some things as all such programs can. Try running with another scanner as well. |

Weird.
I'd say we can't figure it out outright without taking a look for ourselves. Also, I don't think uninstalling Firefox will do it; it has this habit of not uninstalling plugins when you do that. |

Well, first uninstall all the plugins then the browser itself if that fails. Delete the folder manually if you must after the uninstall.
If anything else, it is one less place for it to hide, and it will make narrowing it down a bit easier. Edit: Derp words being mistyped! |

One solution to that would be viewing the source of the txt file. The visual result is the same and the source viewer has wordwrap support.
I'm glad you managed to get rid of it. At some point I had something similar, adware that would periodically open a Firefox tab with some ad. The thing was well-hidden in my AppData folder. It's like they're hiring virus programmers to make their shitware. ____________________ Kuribo64 - melonDS want some revolution in your coffee? |

Glad my suggestion helped.
It is a shame some people have the nerve to throw adware into their extension. I mean, phone apps are one thing (although give me a blocker and I will gladly use it) but any such for FF or other browsers is quite another. Anyways, have happy browsing from here on out. |
