Whenever I open a new website in Firefox, it will be redirect to a strange website name sendtotxt.com before going to the destination website (such as "https://sendtotxt.com/redirect.php?u= my web"). I have used ESET Antivirus and Microsoft Safety Scanner to scan for any potential viruses or unwanted programs but they found nothing. Because of the problem that I do not dare to login to my bank account or shopping online by Firefox cause I don't know if this is a spyware or something that might stole my bank acc or credit card.

Please help me.

Hi black_cat1, maybe you should try AdwCleaner. It's a free removal tool for : Adware (ads softwares); PUP/LPI (Potentially Undesirable Program); Toolbars; Hijacker (Hijack of the browser's startpage). It does'nt requires installation. You can download it here https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/. When download is done, launch it and click on the scan button. When scan is done click on clean (or something like that).

Maybe this could be helpful :) .

in your list of installed extensions "PIX Image Viewer 0.95.26" looks suspicious - remove that and any other addons you haven't installed intentionally...
