when clicking on an address firefox gets redirected or "jump"ed to another.
After searching a topic, and then clicking on a selected web site my browser gets redirected or is jumped to another unrelated web site. Sometimes I am not able to use the back button and have to click on the home icon and start over. Is there a setting I need to turn off/on either in the tools toolbar or in Internet Explorer properties which is the window's browser that I don't use? Thank you!

You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.14 to Firefox/2.0.0.16.
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/2.0.0.16;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: general.useragent
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.
