when i enter mail.google.com to check my mail, it redirects me to a different website. Only on firefox on my one computer. All others are fine. I feel like I might have accidentally set a redirect?

It is normal to be redirected to the following site if you are logged out of your Google Account:
https://accounts.google.com/ (path after that may vary depending on whether Google recognizes you)
However, if it's a non-Google site, that certainly is highly suspicious!

Does the issue happen when running in Firefox Safe Mode? If it doesn't happen while in Safe Mode, it's probably caused by an add-on you have installed on Firefox.
I would also recommend (regardless of whether or not the above fixes the issue) that you can scan your computer for malware. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller (for more info, see this alternate TDSSKiller download page)
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Hope this helps.
