When I choose a website to go to from a list provided by a google search, i am often redirected to a completely unrelated sight, and this only happens when i am in Firefox, not Explorer.

Several times in past few days I have gone to google.com and searched for something, like a specific food item or merchant. When I clicked on the link I want from the list google provided, I am taken to a completely unrelated sight. Total googling ice cream and choosing a relevant site, I was take to an abortion information site. I think I saw the words "Ask 411" flash by, so maybe another search engine hijacked my search somehow?
