    I have taken the liberty to move this from the Spywareblaster Forum to a more appropriate Forum.

    Since "firefox got a browser hijack" is not quite enough to go on....Please provide a little more info concerning this hijack.

    That doesn't sound like a hijack. Sounds more like a setting error.
