At least 50% of links I click on take me to a totally different site, mostly threat pages. More often with google search links. Its like my browser is hijacked but spybot, hijack this and AVG can find any problem intruders. Do I have a problem or does Firefox? More important how do I fix it? When I click on a link from a google search and it takes me to an unasked for page then click on the back button it goes back past the search results to the google page but not the results. TO combat this I now open links in a new tab but it doesnt alter the frequency of the problem.

It is sounding rather like a malware problem, maybe you need more specialist software to scan the computer. Posters often recommend malwarebytes also see these two articles:

Also look for any unexpected software or plugins that have been installed, and check your preferences have not been changed.

  • Help -> Troubleshooting | Modified preferences

PS
It is always worth trying the basic troubleshooting, and there is a possibility at least in the past that Yahoo mail could be implicated in some problems, Firefox crashes when using Yahoo Mail . I note your system details include a Yahoo add-on.
