Certain regularly visited websites, like youtube.com or my home page, are instantly being defaulted to this website "Design a Website - Photo Folio". I type in youtube, but what pops up is this design site. This morning even my Foxfire home page is instantly defaulting to this website design company's page. I've checked all the Firefox Preference tabs, cleared my cache, cleared by history - same thing. Help!

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. (Mac: Open the "Applications" folder) Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't know what they are.
