When I click a link, it takes me to something called goingonearth, some sort of search engine. Why?
As seen in my title, this is getting to really piss me off, I have uninstalled firefox, removed personal settings, Just about anything I can think of. But when I search something and click the link I want I get either porn, a site used for browsing the internet or something else. I then have to copy the link into a new tab JUST to get to the site I want. I have no Idea what the hell is wrong with this Firefox but it is making me steam. Any help?

Try to clean cookies!! and it occurs due to tracking cookies. I recommend, use some anti-malware or anti spyware like Hitman Pro.
Ok, Awhile ago I went to a local computer fixing store and asked about this. The guy at the desk said it is likely Malware or Spyware like you just said, What he thought would be a good choice for getting rid of the Malware/Spyware was SUPERANTISpyware removel, Portable Edition. This worked on the PC I am on now but did not work on the newer PC I got which is now being repaired due to hard drive damage. As of now my problem is solved but now I see that 27 other people (as of now) Have this problem. And to them I say try manish2god's solution or my solution, or both. Hope it all works out for you!
