Could I have a Malware/Virus based on weird Firefox status

I was using my Firefox and all of a sudden, the new tab changed to what it was before they changed it a month or two back. When I closed it and opened it, it went to the main page which is something it hasn't done because of the upgrade. And on the main page, below it, was a donation that I've never seen, and it says its for Mozilla Firefox.

There was a short period when this was like this before it went back, and when I mentioned it before on their twitter, one user suggested it must've been a virus. Until now, nothing had happened since that point in time.

I used Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware, and now Windows Defender, and nothing was found to be a cause. No malware, virus, anything. Yet this reversion seems strange. As far as I know, Firefox didn't change their minds and revert back. And the donations make no sense to be there if "no ads" are selected.

Could I have a virus/malware that is causing this that my anti-virus apps can't seem to find?

How can I find out?
 
This will give us and idea post BOTH files it produces

Please download and save FRST 64bit or FRST 32 bit to your Desktop.

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/FRST.exe

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/FRST64.exe

Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

Make sure that Addition option is checked.
Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back .
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe).
 
You need to allow it itmakes no changes just collect data it could be malware stopping it running did you run as admin as directed ?
 
Okay, I was about to run it and I got this warning:

Your running FF57 which is in effect a beta version so you can expect a few problems the full versions not out until the 14th November. You have ccleaner on your system you may have heard it was infected by malware so I would remove it. You also need to check your drives as its showing errors which could cause it

I still would want to keep CCleaner. Can I just redownload it after removing it?

Also, what you just listed. Should I delete those too? I wouldn't know how to "check" my drives.
 
Checked it. No errors were found. I guess my computer is fine.

I don't know how to explain Firefox, but perhaps its a glitch.

Miss CCleaner thought. Always helped me in cleanign out my computer.
