Firefox is definately NOT SPYWARE lol. Well if it opens the same window, it could be a virus or spyware, or possibly just bad settings. I'd look on Google and search with some spyware detectors.

firefox is an alternative browser. I use it instead of IE.
Yes, use spybot to search for your adware |

If your problem still persists
Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here: http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet. Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following: 1) Restart your computer 2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8. 3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear 4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan. Next please run HijackThis, click Scan, and check: Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan. |

Get the Yahoo! pop-up blocker; it's free and it blocks popups fast and easy, or download Ad-Aware, then scan for adware and spyware.
 Hopefully those pop-ups will go away.
