Hi there, I would like to help you with this problem. Can I ask you what webpage it is that you are trying to go to?

It happens every so often regardless of what fave i click

could you go to the firefox menu > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on... thank you!

ok, nothing really suspicious looking there. however can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

In Firefox, your saved Favorite/Favourite sites appear in these places, maybe others. Could you let us know which ones are malfunctioning:

• Bookmarks menu button on the toolbar
• Bookmarks menu on the classic menu bar
• Bookmarks Toolbar
• Bookmarks Sidebar (open/close with Ctrl+b)
• Library dialog (open with "Show All Bookmarks" or Ctrl+Shift+b)

If you are using favorites/favourites though a different toolbar button or web site or add-on, could you describe it in more detail? For example, something hosted by Yahoo or another service provider? Or a custom "speed dial" page?

no it only happens every so often. if mozilla are redirecting me to their web we want i will get rid of firefox

The only way I've been directed to that site is clicking near the big map on the built-in home page.

I suggest keeping notes of when it occurs to see whether you can spot a pattern.
