This is what I get when I insert anything into the URL of Firefox. Does anyone recognize this . . .


Is it Google that is hijacked or Firefox?

Note how ambiguous the text is. "This enable us to attribute addon usage to the correct install group."

The URL entry for searching in Bing by way of Edge is not hijacked. Not yet anyway.

Looks like an add-on or Firefox extension added to your browser asking for permission.

Here are some removal instructions:

In Firefox’s QuantumBar (a.k.a. address bar), enter about:addons and then press the Enter (PC) or Return (Mac) key to open Firefox’s Extensions (a.k.a. add-ons) manager.
Click the blue toggle for an extension to disable it, or click the ellipsis (3-dot) icon to reveal a menu to Remove it.
