Firefox links me to facebook.com for just one page. Whenever I type www.moddb.com it redirects me to facebook.com. I can get to a subpage like www.moddb.com/mods, it works fine just then. And also when I click on the home button on that subpage, which even shows me the link www.moddb.com in the bottom left corner, I also get redirected to facebook.com.

When going to www.moddb.com with IE, it works just fine. I've heard things about this being caused by malware, but even after running several and deleting whatever it found, it hasn't stopped.

Clear the cache and the cookies. "Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
