iMac-Mozilla Firefox Redirect Issues...Any Advice?

[csrima]

Ok so when using Firefox, when I attempt to go to the website for ESPN, it sends me to Skype.com. It doesn't matter if I search for it to try to get there, or if I type it in the bar. My bookmark toolbar icon for ESPN has also changed to the Skype icon.

Tried finding a solution elsewhere but still haven't found anything that worked. I am not very computer-savvy but this is really annoying me! Would just switch to safari, but honestly I just prefer firefox and would rather not have to lose all of my bookmarks, etc.

thanks!

Well, does it work right in Safari?

Yes it works in Safari, but I'm trying to get firefox to work right for the simple fact that I have all my bookmarks set up, and I have a ton of them.

So that means that whatever is causing the problem is inside Firefox. Are you running the latest version(that's 8 last I checked)? Try disabling add-ons.
