Somehow search.shoomcourt has taken over my Firefox Browser on my Mac. It has not affected Safari. I have the latest version of Firefox. How do I get rid of search.shroomcourt?

That search.shroomcourt.com is a browser hijacker, malware that you will want to get rid of.

Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Add-ons => Extensions

( Mac  : Command + Shift + A)

and look for any other unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same here : for Windows => Control Panel for Mac and Linux => System Preferences

However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (even though you already have run some) :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
