i loaded firefox, and chrome after having only microsoft browser. Somehow I got a virus, it took over my searches with something like "djmixi" or similar. That virus took over all my browsers. It took a half day for me to remove the virus-I'm not particularly talented with computer science- I eventually had to remove all the browsers and reinstalled microsoft. Then things were fine. except I miss firefox and when I reinstalled it, the djmixi thing came back, so I deleted firefox again. Any ideas?

hello, this sounds like a problem caused by adware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
