My searches are continually redirected to URL starting with https://search.surfharvest.xyz/lik - how do I get rid of this?

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

And in case that doesn't pick it up, please also check your Extensions. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

• Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
• "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
• type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.

Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any extensions Firefox installs for built-in features are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage.

Anything that mentions search, looks suspicious, or that you just do not remember installing or why? If in doubt, disable (or remove). For your security and the privacy of your data, do not let mystery extensions run in your Firefox.

Any improvement?
