I visited eBay.com yesterday, Now, every time I search art or photos, an eBay page selling such items pops up. Adblock Pluse extension does not stop it.

Friends, I've just discovered that when I searched eBay yesterday, it changed my default Firefox search engine to eBay without my knowledge or permission. I have changed the default back to DuckDuckGo. Thanks.
