Does anybody know why I am being redirected on Google? And how can I remove or fix this?

Most of the time when I click on a search result on Google, it will redirect me to a random search website with results similar to my Google Search. I do not know if my computer has a virus. An example of a site that I am redirected to is, www.scour.com.

Thank you for all of your help!

hello baseball396, please try to reset firefox, see Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

if this doesn't solve the issue please do a full scan of your system with different free security tools like malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.
