redirecting to wrong page+unsolicitated adss
ever since i intalled dowloadhelper, the browser has been redirecting me to sponsered pages+ads on the bottom of every unsecured pages. I disintalled dlhelper, tryed to disinstal/reinstal firefox, ran every malware/spyware clean up sofware available for mac. Still redirect me almost every clic i do. So what can I do if i want to continue using firefox? cause I'm seriouly considering moving on to an other browser if it does'nt stop... thanks Gabriel

- Are you using any Toolbars in Firefox
- Remove your unwanted extesnions
- Check for malware.
- Clear cookie, cache and Temp files
Already did all that...
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
