It is very annoying ,specially because I am not able to restore the web sites I was looking because babylon takes over firefox and opens instead of the firefox first page . Please help, because I have uninstalled evrything and don't know what else todo.

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

no. did not solve my problem. But I solved by going to the add-ons and deletes the add-ons and unwanted plugins (but the problem was still on). Then I went to tools, choosed options and found that babilon was as my home page. Then I changed the home page to Mozilla Firefox Start Page and pressed OK. This solved my problem eliminating completelly the babilon from the firefox on my computer
