Instead of auto fill in when I type just "facebook" I'm being taken to a thing called Skye Frontier NAVAssist. I know it's probably a malware but how do I get rid of it?

I think I've picked up a malware. Firefox no longer does auto-fill or whatever when I just type in the name of a website. I'll type in "facebook" and instead of taking me to "www.facebook.com" it takes me to a thing called SKYE Frontier NavAssist. I've seen how people get rid of it on a PC but I have a MAC so the instructions don't work for it. I don't know how I got it. It literally just started happening from one minute to the next.

That is probably a "Domain Helper Service" provided by your service provider.

Contact your service provider and ask about how you can OptOut of that "service".

Also, I see that you have a Vshare Toolbar installed, see this:
