When I open Firefox on my PC I get a website that says myway.com online form finder instead of my usual firefox with a google search bar.
It is taking my computer forever to open Firefox because it is opening with a website called myway.com and it is in some kind of online form finder. Instead of the box being Google, it is a box that on the right side outside the box it says Powered by Google and on the left side outside the box, it has a small multicolored lined circle. During one of my searches today, I think I used a form finder and now it seems to be defaulting to this site which is not secure.

You picked up a dose of malware. See this guide: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/search-myway-com-removal/
Hi !
In addition to the above : 'MyFormsFinder (by MyWay) is indeed malware - it's a browser hijacker. You will have to do a little bit more than described in the Malwaretips article, to make sure that you really get rid of this 'nuisance' (understatement) :
Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:
SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito
When you find any : remove them.
Also look in : Advanced => Network tab => Under : 'Offline Web Content and User Data' (MyWay sometimes 'hides' there)
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :
Further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
