somehow , searching for accuweather , this search thing has hijacked my firefox search bar. Mozilla identifies it as an insecure site but doesn't tell me how to remove it. thanks

Hi,
That searchhlocalweatherradar.co is a browser hijacker, malware that you will of course want to get rid of.
Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in your system's Control Panel.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

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