When i use a search engine like google, yahoo, etc., when I click on the link I am immediately redirected to a different site. How to I prevent this?

when i use a search engine like google, yahoo, etc., when I click on the link, I am immediately redirected to another site. Many times I must hit "back", and click on the link again. Sometimes I am redirected again to another and different site. If I go back again and re-click, it will then take me to the link that is listed.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

My system recovered from a serious error recently. During the error, Firefox crashed. Since I have restarted my system and Firefox, I cannot use any of the toolbar options such as:close, minimise and maximise. Also, when I right click, an outline of a box appears without the visible options although on some occasions they appear after 10 seconds or so. Can you advise me of what to do to cure this problem please or is it a case of using a Windows tool such as System Restore?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I HAVE NOW SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY RUNNING WINDOWS REGISTRY REPAIR TOOL WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY REPAIRED CORRUPT REGISTRY FILES.

How to add a search engine like What do you love of Google ?

how to add a search engine like What do you love of Google ? I use Glims but it doesn't work or I don't know how to go about it
Thanks

You can also add any search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

Looking for search engine-like word matching

I wonder if there's any package that can do word matching along the lines of search engines.
Let's say I have two ArrayLists of Strings:
'keywords' containing the Strings to search: "one", "two" and "three"
'match' containing the search criteria.
If 'match' contained "one" then the method would return 'true'. If 'match' contained "seven", the method would return 'false'.
Not really difficult, but the search engine syntax specifies the following:
Keywords that begin with "+" are mandatory
Keywords that begin with "-" must not be found
Keywords without prefix may be found
E.g. "+one", "+two" would return 'true', but "+one", "+four" would return 'false'. "+one", "four" would return 'true', since "four" doesn't have to be found. "+one", "+four" would return 'false', since "one" was found, but "four" was not. "-four" would return 'true', since "four" isn't part of the Strings to search. etc. etc. etc.
Does anyone know where to find a package that does this?
Regards,
Eric

Well, why write something if someone else has already done it? :-)
As for the searching of "four": Keywords that have a "+" or no prefix must be matched, so it returns 'false'. So it only returns 'true' if the list contains "four".
The whole point of the "+" is that if you have several keywords, the ones with "+" are mandatory, the ones without aren't.
So "+one", "+two" means "one" AND "two", whereas "one", "two" means "one" OR "two".

Making our site to search by search engines like google, yeahoo...etc

Hi All,
To make our client site search and display results by google / yahoo or any other search engine what needs to be done?
we kept "meta" tag keywords and description in all our html file and mastheaders.
What we need to do for making our site searchable by search engines ( like yahoo search and google search etc)?
Do we need to register with the search engine sites or search engine will search our site automatically by checking "meta" tags in our web pages.?
All our webpages are in KM.
Thanks,
PradeeP

Hi Pradeep,
I havent tried this before, but would like to add my 2 cents to this topic.
I guess you could start by submitting your site to google - http://www.google.com/addurl/
Search engines rely on a lot more than just the meta tags and other header information. I guess Google relies on something called PageRank and also track backs in order to determine the relavance of your site to the search criteria.
You may also search for document related to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but not sure if that would work.
Thanks,
GLM

Everytime I go to a search engine like Bing or Google and click on the link to a website, it sends me to the wrong page. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer, so what can I do as far as fixing the problem on Firefox?

Anytime I enter what I'm looking for in the search engine and click on a link, it goes through multiple web addresses until it takes me to an indirect page, and the first few webpages on the link that appear during the loading process are the same. I actually don't know what those websites are though.

Cannot operate youtube videos in Firefox. Cannot use play, pause, volume, or any of the control buttons.

None of the control buttons work, it's as if the darn video window is part of the backgroun.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why does my preferred search engine gets hide set to True in search.json after every update to Firefox?

I use DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine. Everytime Firefox gets updated it dissappears from the drop down menu of search engines. I found in search.json that the Hide value would be set to True. By changing it to False and restarting Firefox DuckDuckGo would be back, until the next update. Why is this happening? It is an extension available from the Mozilla/Firefox extension/addons site.

First of all, thank you for providing troubleshooting info (Troubleshooter addon), have you tried the searchreset tool.

I never removed the search engines, but it says I have no search engines installed.

I can't search for anything as I have no search engines. I have tried to search the add-ons to add a search engine, but cannot find basic search engines that usually come included with the browser like Google, yahoo, Amazon, etc. How do I reinstall these search engines.

You can try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
