browser directing to yahoo search
hi,
in my firefox sometime when i try to visit any site say google.com it automatically directs me to yahoo search.
it happens randomly but when this happens i cannot open any site by typing url because it directs me to yahoo search.
i found one way to avoid it. i restart firefox with add-ons disabled and it starts in safe mode and the problem disappears.
but i have to do it everytime.
is there any permanent way to get rid of this ?

Check your Firefox add-ons, extensions and plug-ins and disable or remove everything to do with Yahoo.
This sounds like a redirect virus. Without more specifics I think it's easier to just point you to a site that covers all OS's to remove it.
