Whenever I am in Firefox the Internet Explorer keeps popping up windows related to what I am looking at. I am tired of this happening but cannot figure out how to stop it. My default browser is Firefox.

Sounds like Malware on your PC causing that to happen.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.) They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
