I have Firefox 4.0 and when I go on my blog site on blogger, it will redirect me to the google page. This will happen with any blog site on blogger.

When I use internet explorer, which I don't like using, it works fine.

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable "MyOwnSuperhero Installer Plugin". This is an Ask.com product. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox.

If you have the Ask Toolbar installed as well, go to Add-ons | Extensions and remove it.

Ask.com only searches results for paid advertisers and is next to useless as a search engine.

I did this, but I don't have any Add-ons. And no Ask toolbar either. Thank you for the quick response though.

I just noticed another adware app on your system called My Web Search. Please disable that in Add-ons | Plugins.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_web_search

You should also update Flash since the version you have installed at the moment is a security risk. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
