hi all out there, this morning my firefox works fine, but i've been on the net the whole day, and i think im infected with some viruses or what, ok straight to the point, when i open firefox, it shows my normal homepage, but after about 30 seconds it starts to open up new firefox window, and the new window dosent show my homepage (yahoo) but it shows the google search page.. any1 knows what is happening? need help!

That's a virus for ya!
Most probably you got a virus inside firefox, becoz the popup only shows when you open firefox. Still, this is just an educated guess and you still need to have complete scan on your sistem

Okey, I forget...
Try to look at your addon.
Go to Tools>Add-Ons

add ons?

add-ons for what?

possible (not harmful) addons that might cause it.
or possible harmful addons

i think there is no suspicious add-on installed, i've just check it

then it's back to the first thing.
Scan your firefox folders first, then if nothing found, do a quick scan..
This is something beyond help for me (over the internet)~

It might be best if you consult someone one-on-one
coz over internet nothing much can be achieved.

last resort: Uninstall firrefox, delete anything related to firefox
eg. folders, temporary folders, registry(you shouldn't messing with this if you don't know)

then only install a clean firefox

how and where is the firefox directory, other than in the program files

use your windows search
press F3 or find it in your start menu.

Too lazy to find it for you, it's diff with diff OS

What version of Firefox are you using? The latest version should be 3.0.3. It is highly recommended to always keep your browser updated because they contain latest security fixes to keep your pc safe.

you can try to clear your browser's cache, see if that helps. Also, look for Adblock Plus add-on for Firefox to block most annoying ads and popups.

If still cannot, then try post Hijackthis log for experts to scrutinize for u.
