I love Firefox for I just don't feel comfortable with Microsoft trying to be Big Brother;I almost prefer Mozilla being Big Brother,but Google does such a spot on job of searching,since Certified goes to the craziest places and no rhyme or reason for their choices. Where did Certified come from in the first place? I certainly did not ask for them! I wished that Mozilla would remove them from my site anyway.

Certified does not sound familiar.

There are many different search hijackers and they may change different parts of Firefox. Where are you noticing this?

  • Search bar (search box with the drop-down list of search engines)
  • Address bar searches
  • Firefox's built-in home page
  • New tab page

Some of these are easily reset using this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Others take a bit more digging.

Also, you should disable any nonessential extensions, since they can reset your search settings at the next startup. You would do that here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category

Any luck?
