hijacked browser


I appear to have a hijacked firefox browser, every time I click on a link from a gnome based ap i.e evolution or from xchat, a window opens not with the link I requested but with either the home page of F-secure or fu**edcompany. Does anybody know what is wrong?

nope, if I just launch my browser I get about 4 tabs which I have set as my default (which is one of forefoxs new cool attributes), it's only if I try to launch a new browser window from one of the aps described above.
