Thanks uk bob, I did go to mozilla forums, lots of advice on different spy applications, but not many answers, general gist is that firefox is bulletproof,but your computer isn't ! I thought it was the browser that was hijacked ! And yes I have Zone Alarm already and a router firewall but whatever it was went through the lot like a knife through butter !!!!! through ad-aware through ZAlarm spyware, AVG,spybot etc.. all already installed, none picked it up. anyway ghosted back and started again, yet again! as I was so succinctly told ''Welcome to windows''
