Every time I click on a link, or new tab, I get a re-direct to YellowBook.

I haven't been using FF for awhile, but Chrome has got some issues. So I've been trying FF again. But EVERY time I click on a link, I get a pop-up window saying "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." No matter what site I'm browsing (or trying to browse!), it wants to take me somewhere else. I don't have this problem on these sites with Chrome. And since the window comes up in front of my work, it's just as annoying as the pop-ups that I have blocked!

Hi spmorris,

I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some Malware.

Hopefully this helps!
