this is only happening with firefox, no problems with googlechrome.
Have you changed your default search ?
Or has some malware been installed that redirects your search ?
no problems for me on Firefox.

You might have been hacked/virused/malwared.

How to get rid:

Download and run Malwarebytes.

After about 14 days it will pester you to take the premium option - just tell it no tanks and you'll still have the free edition.
