I disabled the most unlegit add-ons and ran a threat scan but malwarebytes apparantly says there is no virus D:.

did you look at the plugins

delete all of your extensions and download another Antivirus

also check your uninstall programs list

Yes, I disabled (can't delete wow) most of the bad looking plugins. Other than that I can't find anything suspicious...

I have the same problem. I deleted the supposed cause and it went away for like a day or two then came back. I tried looking up solutions but they all involved downloading a ton of extra tools and software

1) Go to C:\Program Files
2)Delete Mozilla Firefox
3) Reinstall Firefox
4) ???
5) Profit!

PS: Don't download plugins that you don't use and change Firefox's security settings to always ask you.

Uhhh why don't you use the uninstaller. Deleting just the folder will probably cause more problems

[Pie Crust]

Because using an uninstaller is too mainstream!
I forgot it had an uninstaller.

This is my final attempt. Lets see if it works.

why not try system restore first

So much trouble for a loving browser isn't worth it. Install Chrome or Safari and forget it.
