I have delete fox fire and reinstalled it three times Still have to run a malware utility to be able to use foxfire. This is becoming very cumbersome and timely Guess I might need to go back to "Chrome"

Firefox, not Foxfire.

Where are you downloading Firefox from as the official place is www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all

Firefox does not come with "myway" search engine for any of the locales so your system may be infected or external software install or update is installing it. Some software can install it if you do express vs custom install where you can uncheck what to install.
