Results in both DDG and Google are uniformly garbage for that search, so questions:
--Are you clicking links in search results that bring you to the fake survey? --Is it a redirect to a website or do you see a popup window in the browser (I'm mostly seeing the latter screencapped in search results I check)?
I'm just curious when/where one might run into this so I can try to avoid it. My use of Waterfox is limited to sorting/storing/reading bookmarks and doing CSS stuff on DW but that said, I have Waterfox "customized" a bit: after I installed it maybe over a year ago, I went into about:config and ripped out anything that can update the browser or my add-ons, because I didn't want my (mostly ancient) add-ons breaking with auto-updates.
Whatever I did worked, so I need to watch things - maybe a bit more carefully than most.
