You can remove SearchDial two ways: *Delete the extension from your Addons *Remove the user.js file (If active) The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file. Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.<br> You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder: '''(This is where the user.js files are located)''' *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder) *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
