Hello, just wanted to comment that the current build of firefox has been compromised on my computer, it immediately redirects to a site called cdnsure . I suppose by now , you might already know this fact. I hope you can fix things soon.

Hi

Are you using an add-on call FVD Video Downloader? I understand that this might be causing what you are seeing.

I had the same issue, as did several others. It was a hacked extension. In my case it was called "Simple Video Downloader". It had been on there for quite some time, but must have done an update and hacked Firefox in doing so. Just go to Add-Ons and Themes and turn off your extensions one at a time and keep reloading your home page in the other tab until you find which one (turned off) allows Firefox to work again. Then remove that extension.
