I think an add-on is doing funny things

Last week I noticed some changes in the browser. For example, if I typed in "ESPN" in the URL address field, Firefox would auto-fill the address based on my past history. That is, if I typed, "banko", Firefox would fill in with, "bankofamerica.com". Also, the "drop down" history arrow (next to the refresh button) used to actually drop down and show my 15 - 20 most visited sites. Now it does nothing. And, last but not least, when I click on the "open a new tab button" I get taken to search.conduit.com. I used to get a "blank" page with a tile of nine web pages that I have visited recently. What has happened?

The word "conduit" reminded me strongly of my FX getting hijacked by an unwanted search&c replacement. See the followiing for starters:

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

If this does not retire the unwanted guest to your full satisfaction, come back with more details.

That seems to have done it. I knew it would be a simple fix. I am very grateful for your help.
