1437362 2017-07-19 23:03:00 Why??????????????
Google Search is my home page.
Looked for answer on the net but only found a suggestion to turn off
Yahoo search in the Search tab but that stopped the search completely.(Page not found)
Firefox is up to date.
Have scanned with MWB and nothing found.

1437363 2017-07-19 23:08:00 Check in Firefox Options -> Search, what is the default search engine? Yahoo??? If it is change to Google. ManUFan (7602)
1437364 2017-07-19 23:20:00 Google is set as default. Colpol (444)
1437365 2017-07-19 23:57:00 See if this does anything.

Start Firefox in safe mode:

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
From the 3 bars along the top > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled OR Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

Try searching again. If it doesn't redirect then there is a problem with one of the Add-ons you have installed that's redirecting. To figure out which one ( if its not obvious) enable 1 at a time till it redirects again, then uninstall that add-on.
