Every time I search something up, I get redirected to Bing. I've researched as much as I can about this and I've refreshed Firefox multiple times, did a fresh reinstall of it, checked my extensions dozens of times, and can't find anything about it. Bing isn't in my search engines and my home page new tabs & windows are all set to Firefox. For a split second when it redirects you can see 'goog.muendakere.xyz' in the search bar. Looking up stuff to do with that brings up some sketchy articles and other people who've solved it by removing an extension to do with it but there's nothing in my extensions. Outside of Firefox I've done antivirus scans and such with nothing coming up so I'm very confused. If anyone can help I'd be super grateful, thank you!

If clearing the "Restore Default Search Engines" on the "Settings -> Search" page doesn't work, try to rename/remove search.json.mozlz4 in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to rebuild the search engines registry.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

Firefox will rebuild search.json.mozlz4 from the built-in search engines.
