Try disable any addons and let see how if you are still have same issue 
then uninstall (I think better to purge it) and re-install. If you still 
have same issue.. maybe some malicious script backdoor somewhere inside 
your machine

If you like to give a try new browser, go and use Brave browser. It made 
by the co-founders of the Mozilla project, it blocks ads and trackers 
that slow you down and invade your privacy. (that what they said, i use 
chromium btw)
