So I've tried blocking this website to keep from it transferring me to it but that hasn't worked and also add the do not let the pages redirect me to another but that still occurs on all different sites that i visit for a prolonged amount of time. So how do i keep from the page buzzya.com from transferring me to their page no matter what page i am on?

hello SalvdrnG24, this sounds like an issue caused by malware on your machine. please perform these steps:

  1. reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.
