Redirect and Firefox Crashing

Hello, I have been having this problem since the weekend. Firefox will often crash for no reason, and when opening a link from google it will sometimes go to the correct page but more often than not will start to load the page then the tab says "jump" then "redirect" and it ends up on some random page. Usually the page where it ends up has something to do with one of the keywords I searched, usually trying to get me to spend money. Also, when I first turn on my computer, programs which are supposed to begin on startup do not run – including avast. I have carefully gone through other postings about this same problem and none of the posted solutions work (I've spent all day today trying to fix this). I have used the following antivirus and malware detectors: avast, spybot s&d, SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes. All found and supposedly eliminated problems. Last time I ran them, they came up clean. Combofix does not run at all. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - this computer
