WWW on the address bar is sometimes replaced by ww1
Yesterday I started typing a company name on the address bar to get to a page I open regularly. I thought I saw the correct address appear so I pushed Enter. But the page that opened was not the correct one. Then I saw that the address did not start with WWW, but with WW1. The page that opened was a kind of referal page to the company I was interested in and several other more or less simular companies.
I have no idea what happned and what ww1 is. A Google search got me no relevant answers. (BTW, I have of course scanned the system.)
Can anybody enlighten me on what happened?

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
WW1 is sometimes used during re-directs.
