Clicking on Google search results directs to correct page and then automatically directs to a Yahoo page
I'll enter search parameter in Google, Google results appear, click on one of the results on Google page, correct page comes up but then immediately turns to a Yahoo page. The following is one of the Yahoo pages that the browser redirects to: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.doglitter.com%2FContent%2Fcss%2Fbullet_macIE&type=576859

Hello,
Sounds like you may have some malware. Please check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
- Tools (or
) > Add-ons > Extensions
- Alternately you can type about:addons in your address bar and then click "Extensions"
Remove any suspicious extensions you find. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause. One useful way of finding the culprit is disabling half your add-ons, if it no longer redirects then the culprit is in the half you disabled, otherwise it is in the half you left enabled.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
