Norton security is quarantining any search I try and do on Firefox

Sounds like a question for Norton. If you disable Norton is all well?

how do you disable Norton to try suggestion?

Does it say that you can't trust Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc., or some strange site you aren't familiar with?

If you need to disable a problem add-on in Firefox:

Open the Add-ons page. Either:

• click the Extensions button (puzzle piece) on the toolbar > Manage Extensions
• Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+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. On the right side, find the "Manage Your Extensions" heading.

If there is at least one extension before the next heading -- "Recommended Extensions" -- please continue:

Then cast a critical eye over the list below that heading. 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. Aside from Norton, do you see anything suspicious or that you just do not remember installing or why? If in doubt, disable (or remove). For your privacy and security, don't let mystery programs linger here.

Any improvement?

Note: Sometimes extensions can frustrate access to this page. In that case, first restart Firefox in its Troubleshot Mode and then try again. See: Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox -- Open, not Refresh.
