Recently (this past week) when using a search engine with Firefox (Yahoo, Google, etc) and clicking on the link, I began to get redirected to an unrelated and unwanted web site. This is now happening every time I use the search engine. How do I stop this without eliminating Firefox as a browser?

Probably caused by search redirect Malware.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
