Guys, my browser is going crazy and every website that I am on changes in about 10 seconds to 2 minutes to another webpage. I even downloaded a newer 5.0 version of firefox and I am having the same problem.

You have Fun Web Products and the Alexa Toolbar which both cause problems with Firefox. Suggest you Google them for information and advice as to removing them.

Amongst other things they are interfering with your User Agent String which shows you as using Fx 2.

Hi,

I don't have fun products, but I do see alexa on my new 5.0 down firefox browser. I also had alexa on my older version of firfox for 3 months with no problem. Why a problem now? How do I remove alexa? thanks

I will search google to find a way to remove alexa but this may not be the problem as I am being rerouted to this silly page for all of my tabs: http://www.scanquery.com/?tmp=404tmp&prt=ScnqryPB&keywords=http://www.thepostgame.com/favicon.ico

Your System Details are showing Fun Web Products. Suggest you look in Add-ons - Extensions and Plug-ins, and Control Panel>Add/Remove programs or >(newer version) Programs and Features. You could also do a search of your computer.

Fun Web Products(associated with MyWebSearch) always seems to cause problems, Alexa does, too, but less often - there may be conflicts.

I'm not an expert on these two products. I'm afraid I can only alert you to the problems. Google will show you plenty of evidence of problems. You might also try the Search Firefox Help box above - a gold mine but it usually requires a lot of digging.

You can start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold Shift Key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If that improves things you could do a little troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc), use default theme, -
