Several times over the past year. Everytime I did a search for the store "home depot" (HD) on my android phone. ( also happened on on my old phone too) and I click on the stores link it seems to hijack my whole firefox browser. Even the pages I have bookmarked. It takes over the page where is gets stuck in the stores (HD) page. And will not work no matter what I try. I then open a new page. Instead of a new normal page I get the locked home depot page again. It also does that if I go to a bookmarked page. The bookmarked page won't open or it pulls up the frozen store/home depot page again. No matter what I open I get home depot. The last 2+ times thsi happened I had to go a horrible pricess of getting rid if firefox and reinstalling. DOES THIS MEAN I GOT HACKED OR IS IT JUST A GLITCH OF SOME SORT?

Hi

So that I can try this here, please can you long press on the link that you are opening and copy it before pasting it into a reply to this thread?

The solution may be as simple as clearing your clearing your browsing history, but it would be good to see if there is anything more going on.
