Everytime FF opens its in the manual proxy setting at 'local host' port 55758. I have run a complete virus scan (Panda), I have reinstalled FF. I disabled add-ons and restarted in safe mode and it was OK but when I disable the addons individually nothing changes. Also (maybe related) when I enter a search (no matter what engine) the results look normal but when I click on a search result, I am redirected to some bs site, everytime and with every search result.

See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
