every webpage i go to starts to load but then jumps to http://cdn.code-jquery.com/ how do i fix this
every webpage i go to tries to load, it gets part way through the loading process and then jumps to http://cdn.code-jquery.com/ I have no clue where this came from or how to fix it. I ran a deep scan with Kaspersky internet security and my system is clean. I am running firefox 41.0.2
Please help

That's strange, definitely looks like a hijack. Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement?

Thank you so much... I went into safe mode and reset firefox and this fix the problem.
Thanks for the update. A Refresh moves your old settings folder to the desktop in an Old Firefox Data folder. You might want to keep it for a week in case you notice anything important missing.
