Redirection to other websites
All of the sudden Firefox has started to redirecting clicks to other websites. It happens on random clicks almost 50% of the time. Now it constantly redirects google searches to Bing, I cannot use google. I have tried refreshing Firefox and uninstall/reinstalling and it continues to happen. I have run Norton and McAfee antivirus and they say that I am clean. I am using the current version of Firefox. It does not happen on Edge or Chrome. I am using Windows 10.

Hi, it does sound like malware. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
