when i do a search, the following url appears: http://click.livesearchnow.com/ads-clicktrack/click/jump1.do?sid=29464E06029225B179EE10C948543927FE4837C96521DA9
regardless of what i search for, that url appears and usually leads me to a strange page. Note that it does not happen with Chrome or IE - only w/Firefox.

Looks like you got infected with either malicious plugin, trojan or bad proxy. First you should try to Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems , and if this does not help, scan with anti-malware programs, like hitman Pro or malwarebytes.
