Once a day a Bing link forces itself on FireFox. It interrupts the connection.
Once a day a Bing link forces itself on FireFox. It interrupts the connection.
This is the link that shows up: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=219472&clcid=0x409
I get this message: The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Try Again
I don't use Bing at all. Only StartPage, Qwant and DuckDuckGo.
PS I have also posed this question on the MS 8.1 Bing forum. As it also could be a Windows problem.
Thanks so much.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
