Every Monday morning Firefox is highjacked by Searchbaron replacing my default Google search engine with a fake Google browser. I have tried several options suggested online but no success. Any "latest tips " for this problem? Much appreciated.

Run most or all of the listed free to use malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
