What anti virus do you use?

Windows Defender(MSE) is apparently quite good these days, but Spybot-S&D and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware are also solid.

Use AVG and Malware Bytes Anti-Malware. I've been using AVG for a while and everything works perfectly + you can actually rekt viruses right after detecting them. Feel the power of destroy button.
Make a deep scan using Malwarebytes, warning! It takes a lot of time for a complete scan. Make sure you've got enough time to run it. Lets say for a night or so.

Fortunately, the forum is unable to download pirated games or browse porn websites, [...]

Nonsense. Then how do you explain all of this on my son's PC?!
Jokes aside, practice safe browsing. It is not that hard. If anything, at least learn the safe porn sites.

Apparently my computer is infected by Provider adware. At least Mozilla is. I have no problems on other browsers.

Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner and Ublock Origin don't seem to detect nor block it. I have re-installed Mozilla, but the adware is still there. Also, the most comprehensive scan my Malwarebytes version (Home (Premium) 2.2.0.1024) has to offer, which is apparently the latest free one, only lasts for about 15 minutes, hardly the whole night. The scan is simply called Threat Scan, and there is no Deep Scan as there used to be. It has found a few PUP-s, but neither of them was Provider and removal of all the PUP-s hasn't solved my problem.

Is it possible that Provider is in the official Mozilla download site? It doesn't provide an EULA.
Or am I using Malwarebytes wrong?

PS: Mozilla retains its bookmarks and history when I re-install it. I assume it auto-saves backups. Is it possible that it does the same with Provider?

Get CCleaner, try removing manually?

I already had CCleaner. I tried it, but it seems that I can do the same with Control Panel. Not very useful. If I knew where the adware was hiding, I'd have removed it by control panel.

It is not that I really need Mozilla, considering that other browsers are functioning properly. I have all of my browsing history saved there, though.

@Thunderer Custom scan with all drives checked along with rootkits.
Also if it is on firefox look for it in your firefox addons.

Spoiler

Since i'm about to go to sleep, if you can't get rid of it in the next few hours you could try tron, but really that prob wont be needed, i'm sure something easier will work.

It appears that refreshing Firefox by Help/Troubleshooting Information/Refresh Firefox has worked. I'm going to perform a full scan by Malwarebytes anyways.
Thanks for the help!
