I have gone so far as to delete every search engine from the settings screen. I am not picking up any malware and I made sure I ad no add ons or extensions. Thanks for the help.

Make a back up to save your Firefox profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

uninstall Firefox.Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders.Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Then Reinstall Firefox.
