Hi

I recommend you have a read of this question that has more information and guidance.

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.

There are two settings;

  • When Firefox Starts

When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.

  • Home Page

When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.

  1. Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
  2. Use Bookmark
  3. Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.

You can use any of these that you wish;

about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),

or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.

If you tried what "FredMcD" said and nothing changed then perform a full scan of your system from any of these malware scanner :

As a guess it may be possible that you have played these games on Android/iPhone devices with your login credential and due to sync it comes to your pc.
