Hey Humphrey, Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you are using Firefox on MacOS. You likely have a malicious extension installed. In the Firefox toolbar, click extensions (puzzle piece) then extensions. Check if you have any extensions you don't recognize, and remove them. Then check your search settings (Menu > Settings > Search) and check that "Freshy Search" is not listed. If it is, scroll down and click "Remove"
