I try to go to a particular website but Firefox keeps redirecting to a different site. If I use Internet Explorer I can get to the first website with no problem. How do I stop Firefox from redirecting me?
I want to visit a website at www.upcatholic.org. When I put in that address Firefox takes me to www.dioceseofmarquette.org instead. Even if I try to click on the upcatholic weblink within Facebook, Firefox takes me to dioceseofmarquette. If I open Internet Explorer I can go right to upcatholic. How do I stop the redirect?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Just for the record my setup Win7x64, Fx4.0.1, the same as yours, takes me correctly to each site.
