I installed Ad-Aware Free A11 and Lavasoft Secure Search has replaced the standard google Search. After uninstal;ling the Ad-Aware the Lavasoft secure search remaned as a homepage and it does not show up in the program list in the control center that could be uninstalled! The taskbar disappeared too!

Did you try restore your home page?

or go to about:config search for browser.startup.homepage change its value to:

about:home - default value
about:blank - blank page
url - a link that you want

Also see if your homepage change in safe mode:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
