I have already gone to Firefox/Help/Troubleshooting Information and reset to the default state numerous times. It works for a time but keeps coming back. I believe it installed on my computer when I downloaded Gimp as an update from a hijack site

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
