If I use "Searching the Web" in a new register, I'm lead to "https://guce.oath.com/collectConsent?sessionId=3_cc-session_04ddc9c6-f7a3-4d75-ba2d-f48c796708ce&lang=&inline=false&jsVersion=null&experiment=null" since yesterday. No matter what string I was searching for. What is that? How to fix it?

It sounds like you may have some malware on your computer. Follow these steps to remove it:

  • Download Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.com), run it, and remove everything that it finds.
  • It looks like you might have McAfee, I'd strongly suggest uninstalling it and just using Windows Defender, plus monthly free malwarebytes scans. (remember to keep Firefox and Windows up to date)
  • Finally, reset Firefox Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
