My firefox in the search box is using "Omnilboxes". Everytime I delete it, it just shows up again+I have weard adds on trusted sites.What should I do?
So my search tools keep forcing me to use yahoo search (but on the search box it's called "Omnilboxes". I also get weard adds and pop-up windows on every website. And when I go to shopping websites, it redirects me to Aliexpress. What to do?
