Yes, same problem here. Brand new - started today and it's remarkably annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

This is what solved it for me:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/48/computer-technical-help/google-links-redirect-ad-sites-windows-xp-pro-sp3-751232/

At the end of page 1, the user recommends to run a tool called Gooredfix. http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe

I am not associated with any software and want to remind you that you run anything at your own risk. I was desperate, ran it, and it cleaned up that redirect problem flawlessly. I finally have my Firefox back.

Thanks to that website for clearing up the issue. I just wanted to post here because it took me a long Google search to find it.
