Steps to reproduce:

clicked on a link from facebook page


Actual results:

was supposed to go to this page: http://www.wimp.com/kellerspeaking/ but went to this page instead: http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=http%3A%2F%2Fguinan.wimp.com%2Fcrossdomain.xml&type=216107

Expected results:

links should go to appropriate page

that seem is a hijacked, by using Google search "http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler".

Try remove 'Conduit' in add-ons, by http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2769233&start=15.

And see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware.
