When I click a link in Google search results, firefox opens some random web page.Not the one that I had clicked the link of. usually it is of clicksearch or lifestyle etc. it says ur request is being processed and opens a clicksearch page.
Recently, when i search for something in Google, and when i click a link in the results, the moment i click it, some vague link is activated
( usually it is of click search ) and it says ur request is being processed and opens some lifestyle or some kind of page that i dint request.
Please adress this problem and find the solution to this. Firefox is a good browser, but such problems can make me stop loving it and turning to another browser. Thanx.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
