My searches are being hijacked by yahoo. The answers I found here are all the obvious no-brain stuff like 'remove yahoo' , reset default search preference. The malware is much deeper than that. Mozilla needs to regain control of its software. I've recently download from CNET and remote-desktop-control.com. One of the two delivered the malware, that's my guess.
Thanks and Best regards, Bill Russell

Thanks. Meanwhile I simply rebooted the Win7 desktop, and the problem (temporarily at least) is gone.
I'll definitely follow your suggestions, however. Thanks for the help.
Love you guys, and Firefox.

Tyler - took a while to get back to you because I refreshed and then look what popped up when I clicked to reply to you: "The owner of accounts.firefox.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
