You have an item "My Web Search . . ." plug-in which is a well known troublemaker.

You should work through the following removal instructions as far as you need to (Google for information if you have any doubts.)

You have an item installed that is considered malware/spyware/adware. To see the Plugins reported with your question, click "More system details..." to the right of your original question or, on the Firefox menu, click Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.

This type of pest is usually installed along with software you download from the internet; generally free programs, but not always. Carefully watch for "extra" items that will be installed and un-check or opt-out of them.

   You can check to see if you have any of these from [Fun] Web Products" installed:
       Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on any that you find and click "Remove": Ask.com Bar, My Search Bar, MyWay Speed Bar, My Web Search Bar, Fun Web Products Easy Installer

   You MAY need to change a preference if when typing one or two words in the URL/Location/Address Bar sends you to some search page other than the one you expect. To reset your default URL/location bar search provider:
       Enter about:config in the address/URL bar and press the Enter key
       If you see a warning, accept it (Promise that you will be careful)
       Filter = keyword.URL
       Below the Filter, if keyword.URL is bold, right-click on keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
       Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
