You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Hi, thanks for the screenshots. As FredMcD suggested, this is a malware issue, so please try working through Remove zeroredirect1.com pop-up ads by Malware Tips.

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
