While reading an article on one webpage, I will be hijacked to http://search.incredibar.com/. The page just changes. I haven't clicked anything at all.
I also now have to go directly to www.Google.com to get to a Google search page so I know somehow the default search engine got changed in Foxfire. But what really bothers me is getting pulled right out of another page (usually when reading a news article) and plopped into a My Start search page with incredibar.com when I've not clicked anything.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
