I downloaded what I thought was only a scientific calculator code but, without my permission, I also got whatever "Babylon" is

I then uninstalled using windows/7 facilities "Babylon"

But without any indication of "Babylon" code still present, there is still a Babylon search bar.


I need to get rid of the Babylon search bar.

I suppose I could uninstall firefox and reinstall it but I would loose all my bookmarks.

Help. Any ideas?

This may help:

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:

  1. From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select Add-ons, or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the Tools menu and click Add-ons.
  2. Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
  3. You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
  4. To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
  5. Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the Restart now link in the message.

You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
