hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your system.

  1. please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
  2. you could also try to refresh firefox
  3. run a scan with malwarebytes anti-malware for mac: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

Also if you download Flash Player from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ you have to be careful when downloading for Windows.

Below is a example of the "Optional Offers" served with the Windows version if left checked before download.
