i am using windows 7 and when i ck my processes the plugin-container.exe seems to be active. so when i end that process it seems to help but as time goes by and i have visited my various bank, and utilities sites the redirection stops. but after first opening firefox theres a lot of redirection and pages take time to come up. i have been using firefox for over 3 years first with XP and now with win7 but this is the first time this is happening. the only major things i have changed recently is i got McAfee Internet Security and i am using win media center more.

Hi ujm789,

Have you looked at our troubleshooting section for site redirects? There is a lot of useful information in there. I think it might be of some use.

Hopefully this helps!
