hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware 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 and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

hello brandan, yes this looks like the same scam tactic (thanks for sharing a screenshot btw). did you try the steps from above to get rid of this malware, did they work? otherwise you can also try to reset firefox and see if this fixes the issue...

Well i have the same problem and after a search i found the problem. The problem is in the hosts file which is changed. To fix the problem rename the %WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts file to hosts.old. As administrator open notepad and create a new file with the name hosts ,don't forget to change the extension in notepad from .txt to all files copy the lines below inside the new file

  1. Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. #
  2. This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. #
  3. This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
  4. entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
  5. be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
  6. The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
  7. space. #
  8. Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
  9. lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. #
  10. For example: #
  11. 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com
  12. source server
  13. 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com
  14. x client host
  15. localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
  16. 127.0.0.1 localhost #  ::1 localhost

and save the file. The file name is " hosts "
