I have had similar experience. The interesting thing though was that I didn't see the same behaviour with the same sites on other machines. So, I guess the reason had to be some extension that was installed. I didn't have the time & patience to check which one was the culprit, as the concerned browser installation had quite some extension installed. I just uninstalled & re-installed firefox and then didn't install any of the extension. Working fine now.

Regards.

Hello Friends,

Off late I have observed that when visiting some websites (Clean ones),
especially where a form is to be filled, a spam advts tab opens in the
browser. It happens in Android as well as Ubuntu in Firefox. In my Ubuntu
laptop, I was on a sports shopping site and just when I clicked on Buy Now,
it opened a spam page, even playing an advt video.

What is this new phenomenon happening?

Regards,
Rony.
