How do I stop my search engine from being "hijacked"? I can no longer get direct access to websites.
When I open my Mozilla Start Page, I type in a name or website I am searching and Google provides the usual list of websites. When I click on the website I want it won't open. Instead I keep getting redirected instead of going directly to the website. How I can I stop this from happening?

I would normally wonder if this was a malware problem, but apparently a day or so ago there may have been dns problems relating to google.
Have a look at the thread Search bar causes browser to be hijacked
That gives suggestion for
- re-seting the search bar
- sorting out malware
- and if necessary considering changing DNS
