Whenever I launch Mozilla Firefox, different adult sites opens up automatically with new window in background. This is much annoying ](*,) , as these sites continuously keep opening up even when I removed the cookies and enabled the block popup option. So far I haven't been able to find any way of stopping them from opening up #-o . I guess I would have to dump Mozilla Firefox, which I have used so far.

Don't know how to get rid of these.. ](*,)

To further what Dick posted, this is an infection on your system, not in Firefox. You would be getting the same popups no matter what browser you use. In fact, I would venture to guess that the popups may even be coming from IE right now...
