Hi, using Firefox I can connect to my saved home site OK, but if I try to connect to any other site I only go to amazon. This happens every time. For example if I delete my home site address or open a tab and type in google earth I get onto the amazon site which then lists any products they sell which contain the words google earth. No idea how to stop it. Any ideas how to stop this please.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
