Hi,
Your system details show that Search Encrypt is installed as an extension.
Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Add-ons => Extensions Remove Search Encrypt and look for any other unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same here : for Windows => Control Panel for Mac and Linux => System Preferences
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (even though you already have run some) :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

I hope that helps to get rid of the nuisance .....
