Hello,
as of yesterday, I noticed that my Google searches were displaced by ads. If I search something, Google would normally display a short summary and a little piece of information at the top of the page, but instead the first ~10 results are all ads, one of the top ones always being yahoo.com.
Same goes for searching for translations "[Any word] + language" normally results in the translation tool being displayed at the top, but again just ads.
I have scanned my PC for viruses (with the Windows Defender and Bitdefender) but at least they didn't find anything.
When I deactivate all my extensions (Which is only Adblocker, ironically), nothing changes.
When I browse in Safe Mode, the ads do not appear.
I have already cleared my Cache etc. but that didn't do too much.
No I installed a Scriptblocker and with that, Google is back to normal again.
But of course, even if that workaround works, I'd also like to know what is causing this.
(I also checked with Chrome for example, the problem is Firefox specific)
Any ideas what I could try next or what the problem might be?
