I downloaded some dodgy software and having cleared it up it seems to have installed an alternative browser (delta?) and toolbar to my firefox. I've uninstalled the toolbar, but when i open a new tab, instead of my most used pages, it came up with the delta browser. So I followed the instructions on here and troubleshooted and restored the default settings of firefox. This worked until I re-installed the add on Stylish to customise webpages, and now it seems to have come back. Having uninstalled stylish it hasn't changed. Can i not use stylish now, or is there a way of my completely getting rid of this delta, enabling me to use the add on as before?

See:

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800
  2. Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32).

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
There is no need to toggle the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true in Firefox 22 and later, so leave this pref set to false.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

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