I keep getting a new tab coming up on my Firefox when I am looking at something completely different. It is a site called/kaboomit. (dot) com. I have no idea where it has come from and I don't want it.

Please, can anyone tell me what it is and how I get rid of this stupid thing. I an now into Farsebook,or whatever they call themselves, or Twatter. So please, I just want rid of this intruding nuisance!

I am running the latest Firefox, 27.0.1.

I recommend Ad Blocker. Its an addon for Firefox that does just what you want. You can also try going into fire foxes tools and disabling everything you don't need. It is at the fire foxes toolbar at the top left under Ad-dons. Where it says always activate, you can set it to disable. Make sure you don't disable Ad blocker though if you instal it:)


ADBLOCKER: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=hp-dl-mostpopular

Ta muchly underarmourjws. I already have adblocker and now I have added some extra filters for that site. Hopefully that will stop it?
