Firefox redirects to social media search on Google because McAfee blocks it at my instruction

We have regularly updated Firefox on Windows Vista, with McAfee provided by our ISP (BT, a UK telecoms ISP). Because of our young children, and my dislike of having to be wired into every little thing, social media is generally disallowed, except that I have basic Facebook enabled to contact our daughter at university. Chat is turned off permanently. I don't Twitter or any other social media.
Quite a few months ago we went through a spate of faults where a webpage would load, and within seconds redirect to a Google search based on (at that time) a Facebook search. The exact search seemed to depend on hidden criteria within the stream that the Facebook app was trying to access. Then it stopped for a while. I assumed that my tweaking the McAfee to block social media and allow Facebook had improved matters.
Today the problem has resumed, but this time it's Twitter that's playing up. I got several redirections from pages for the "Uplifting" TV Channel (redirected from a friend's Facebook link) to a Google search for "https://twitter.com/i/jo" with results like:

This happens within 2 or 3 seconds of the page loading, and if I back-button, it just redirects over and over again.
How can I block the social media so that Firefox does not treat it as a Google redirection?
Incidentally - your system knows me under my true email. But it refuses to allow me access despite 2 password resets. I've had to create disposable email and a slightly different name to register this question.
Please be patient with me if I can't respond straight away to a request for further information. I've got some very complex situations going on which are not made much easier by the end of the summer holidays and the start of school in 8 days... The internet isn't _always_ the first thing on my mind ;) But thank you for being there for me to ask you :)

Most sites wouldn't redirect you away, so I'm suspicious that it could be due to one of your add-ons.
Could you try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category 
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If a link to restart Firefox appears above one of the disabled extensions, go ahead and click that as the last step. Any change?
Also, sorry about the forum problems. Not sure what is going on there.

How can i log out from my social media from a distance because my iPod got stolen and i don't want anyone hacking my accounts

Can I change the Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to direct searches to google.co.uk, as it currently directs me to google.fr and I do not speak French (even though I live here!).

I like the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I do find Google fairly useful (albeit that I have dumped Chrome for Firefox due to Google's constant badgering to sign-up to their social network "circles" etc) - but my gripe is that I am redirected to google.fr NOT google.co.uk (my 1st preference) or google.com (2nd preference). Yes, I am located in France. No, I am not French and most of the information I am looking for is contained on UK or US web pages. I found the same problem with the provided Google search engine in the top right bar, so removed it in favour of Yahoo (which I am not a fan of either!). Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

I cannot search in firefox. I try to search with google and yahoo. The page never loads and I get "Problem Loading Page", "The Connection Has Timed Out". Can anyone please HELP??????!!!!!!!!!

I cannot search for ANYTHING, I cannot click on items listed in the yahoo search page (the top ten trending search items) the page just won't load!

Since I looked everywhere for this answer and never found it I decided I needed to help!
1. GO TO THE TOOL BAR WHERE IT SAYS SAFARI AND CLICK TO BRING DOWN THE MENU OF OPTIONS, CLICK ON PREFERENCES
2.INSTEAD OF JUST CLICKING ON THE GENERAL TAB AND CHANGING THE SEARCH ENGINE LIKE EVERY OTHER STUPID SUPPORT TELLS YOU TO DO LOOK AT THE TAB THAT SAYS EXTENSIONS.
3. Chances are you downloaded something that was made by a third party to "enhance" your web experience but really they just screwed you over, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY UNINSTALL ANY EXTENSIONS PUT ON YOUR COMPUTER BY CLICKING INSTALL, BUT TO BE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IN THE SECOND COLUMN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE UNDERLINED NAME OF WHO THE EXTENSION IS MADE BY IF CLICKING THE LINK BRINGS UP A YAHOO PAGE THIS IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR ISSUES AND SIMPLY UNINSTALLING THIS WILL RID YOU OF THIS DUMB PROBLEM!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

How do I stop firefox from redirecting every page I click on in Google search?

Sounds like a dose of search redirect malware or a redirect virus.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.

For example, I did a search on Google for :
"resume have summary and objective - Google Search"
It returned several options. I clicked on :
"Summary and Objective statements | Magic Pot of Jobs (http://www.magicpotofjobs.com/2005/07/30/summary-and-objective-statements/)
And instead ended up at:
http://www.gimmeanswers.net/search/v5_1/searchabc.php?search=Resume+Have+Summary+And+Objective&affiliate=mx1-33371
This has been occurring with almost every search I do.

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

Why does Firefox redirect my Google search bar queries to the Google homepage?

Whenever I type a query on the search bar (set to Google), the browser would load the results - then a second later, it redirects the results page to the Google homepage.
How can I prevent this from happening? I would like the results page to stay, as per normal :(

OK, it's the OptimizeGoogle extension. Disabled, and it subsides.
But I never had this problem as recently as last week, even with that extension enabled.

Why do I get redirected to Yahoo when I type Google into Firefox?

When I type google.com into the URL box of Firefox or Safari on my 2008 Macbook, I get atumoatically redirected to a Yahoo website with the following URL - http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/
I can still search in the Google search box in the top right, but I get similarly redirected if I search for Google and click on the Google link.
I was having a similar problem yesterday trying to get to ESPN's website. Every time I clicked on an ESPN link or typed in the URL I got redirected to a website called Ooyala. Now I'm not having this problem. I downloaded all new updates a few days ago, and am currently scanning my computer (I have Sophos Anti-Virus software, not sure how good it is). I expect that I have some sort of malware, but I know next to nothing about computers.
Can anyone help with this?

I too was having this issue recently. I decided to look into it and discovered that www.google.com and all of the search results accessed through using a google search engine toolbar were currupt. I believe I solved this problem by updating my firmware of my router.
Type in your IP address in your Address Bar (search using Yahoo what your default IP router address is if you haven't changed it since you got it.) You'll then need to navigate to your router's website (ex: I search Cisco and Linksys and found mine).
Most logins to the router are
Name: admin
Password: password
You will then download a .bin file and go to your administrator page in your router's control panel and go to Firmware Upgrade. Click the "find file" (or whatever it says) and click upgrade. This worked for me.
If this doesn't solve it, reset the router to it's default settings by either using it's control panel or holding the reset button on the back of it in for several seconds. This will reset any port forwarding you may have set up as well as your Wifi password.
Hope this helps,

How do I make the search bar on the default Firefox Homepage search in Google rather than AOL?

On the default home page for Firefox 4, the one with the restore previous session on it, the search bar links to AOL Search. This does not seem to happen on other computers. How do I make it search in Google?

In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
#In the filter at the top, type '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and replace the current setting with http://www.google.com/search?q= (''it has to be entered exactly as you see it written here - but since this is a URL, right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard, then CTRL+V to paste it'')
#Close Firefox via File | Exit and then restart it again.
To reset it to something else afterwards, see [[How to set the home page]]

I have downloaded Firefox android a number of times and every time I open Firefox and try to use the search line Google Chrome takes over the search, so save to

PDF in Firefox remains grayed out, because l cannot do a Firefox search. l cannot change the default search in apps because there all grayed out. l cannot change it in settings - search for Google Chrome and Firefox, because there is no Firefox appearing, even after in Firefox tip saying long press search line to add it. Cannot get box to come up either, to be able to change default search to Firefox by clicking always or once. My tablet is a Lenovo Yoga 8 Android jelly bean 4.2.2 OS. Please can someone help, l have been trying to figure this out for more than a week. l especially wanted to use the save to PDF function in Firefox. Please, please HELP!

Hi nature26,
There is no Firefox search, there are a number of search engines you can choose in the Settings men u > Customize> Search Engines
The search engine will be searched in the toolbar, as you type there will be an option to chose to search in many engines. If you turned on google search suggestions this will happen as well.
When you say the option is greyed out, can you please take a screenshot on the tablet and upload it in a response, it is a little unclear what you are trying to do. [[How to make screenshots]]
When you say you want to save to a pdf, are you talking about this add on for the android?

We look forward to your reply.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why can't I see the social media widgets in Firefox?

I have noticed that the social media widgets "follow" on both FB and Twitter seem to show up fine in Chrome but fail to appear in Firefox. What can I do to rectify this?

This can be due to browser plugin issue. Please try to check browser settings and then view again.
If same issue, then provide us the page url.
Thanks,

How to keep Google as the search engine on Firefox startpage, no matter what search engine is in the upper-right drop-box?

When I change the search engine in the upper-right search-box (to let's say Wikipedia), the search engine in the middle of the Firefox home-page changes accordingly. I don't want this to happen (I want that to pin to Google). How to do it?

Current Firefox versions use the search engine that is selected in the search bar (click the search engine icon to open the drop down list) on the Navigation Toolbar for searching via the location bar and for the search engine on the about:home page.
If you want to use different search engines then you can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page (Firefox > Add-ons).
