I get 'redirected' or 'jump' instead of what I 'googled'; I get ads etc
After loading Firefox 'Home' and using the search bar -say for instance- Walthers.com [a model RR products store] I get a listing of many 'walthers' sites but not the one I asked for [walthers.com]. If I fill in ..'www.walthers.com' on Foxfire's 'top box' it gets the correct site- but part of the screen is filled with related ads. Bob

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
