Hello bestmaliko8,
Unfortunately you have picked up some malware, cause that "searchbaron" is a browser hijacker.
Would you do this please :
Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Preferences => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything that looks unfamiliar or suspicious.
Next step : run malwarescans - further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
Especially for Mac : https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
See this article for more instructions :

(you'll have to scroll down to "Remove Searchbaron.com from Firefox")
Well said.
