Firefox 80.0 installed on August 27, and has diverted my Google searches to Yahoo and disabled my access to the add-ons page. This appears to be symptoms of known malware. Is there a fix yet? McAfee and MalwareBytes can't find anything.

That didn't work, but might have done. Instead, I refreshed the installation from the Control Panel in Windows 10, as also suggested in the FAQ, and that seems to have done the job.
