When navigating to a website, https://ads.gold/ redirects the site to this one. Firefox states it blocked redirection but the site I navigate to is still is redirected to https://ads.gold/. I've cleaned up my cookies and still this is occurring.

Hi   ! Unfortunately you have malware. Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:

SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently   -   what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
