Firefox used google search when i first loaded it. Now it's suddenly changed to snapdo for no reason. Also game sites,bingo, casino, poker sites keep coming onto mozilla regularly with continual badgering from pc healthboost trying to flog pc speed up systems. It is becoming a serious nuisance.

hello, please try 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 to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
