HELP! When I search my bookmarks bbc.co.uk is coming up ???

bookmark search problem.jpg
Hi, i just searched my bookmarks for a website and noticed something that I didn't recall saving. I clicked on it and it was a bbc.co.uk headline which I definitely did NOT bookmark. I just searched for bbc in my bookmark search and my sidebar is filling up with bbc.co.uk items.

How can I stop this? Is there a setting or am I infected by this bbc.co.uk somehow. I'd appreciate some help with this. I'll attach a screenshot of it.

Sincerely, Libra

Hi Libra, it looks like you clicked on a BBC news RSS feed link, I'm not sure how to get rid of or hide it though.

Here's another example of a search. This time I typed in spy for spywareblaster. The very first item is from that bbc.co.uk website and the last two items are also from there.
I don't want these things in my search and have no idea of what is causing it.

I got rid of it!! I looked in Firefox help - I right-clicked the rss feed icon in my toolbar. When I clicked on properties, I saw the bbc site listed. Then I right-clicked the rss feed icon again and clicked delete - the bbc stuff is gone and so is the rss icon!

Thank you again for letting me know what it was! :)

Sincerely, Libra
