I'm running Firefox 28.0 on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Recently, it began opening up random tabs to spam websites and it's SUPER annoying. Then, the other day it began to do this thing where it'll stop responding. Rather than just freezing up for a second like it used to, it won't unfreeze and I have to restart Firefox. I reset Firefox today, and that didn't solve any of my problems.

System specs; 

OS: Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90GHz 1.90 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 6.00 GB (5.88 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Pen and Touch: Pen Support
Windows is activated

hello, please run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.

I've already done this, and it says nothing is wrong with my system.
