Issue

I have a problem with my bookmarks, cookies, history or settings

Description

I try to enter a url such as facebook.com and firefox directs me to a google search for facebook.com. Even when I click the google result for facebook.com or any other website it will redirect me to a non-related web page or will simply direct me to the same google results page. Also when I try to unistall and then reinstall firefox the OPEN option is not available in the download box, only SAVE FILE is an option. Somehow my options have changed please help I can not get to any website and comcast will not help!

Ugh I have this too, but only on the family laptop and my parent's office computer? It's really weird, on my own computer it works perfectly fine. It's really irritating..



Same problem here. I don't WANT Google knowing what URLs I am going to. When the same URL is pasted into IE the problem goes away. Definitely Firefox related.
