onesearch.org keeps loading when I open a new tab. How can I remove?
Ever since the last firefox update I keep getting search.onesearch.org link populates newly opened tabs. I have my settings set so tabs should come up blank. When I search online onsearch is said to be an intrusive bug. I've tried suggested ways to remove and my virus scanner isn't catching it. Also, I don't have this problem with IE. How can I remove onesearch?

It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
- Click the menu button
and choose Add-ons.
- In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
- Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
- Click the Remove button.
- Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
For further information, please read Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.

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.
