[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1933902, member: 396914"] You got hijacked. The message refers to "PC." Apple NEVER calls their machines "PC." Just to be clear, the message is there when FF is running, but not just when the machine boots? What probably happened, and which may be hard to fix, is that the hijack replaced your default URL with theirs. Or you don't have a default, and it opens the last site opened, which is theirs. It may be cleanable using something like Onyx to clean out the history and cache, but that may also scrub your bookmarks and passwords. I don't know where FF stores that information, but if you can find it, you may be able to restore from a Time Machine backup from before you got hijacked. [/QUOTE]
