how do I restore homepage to mozilla firefox and rid imesh as homepage
I downloaded iMesh and accidentally made it my home page. I uninstalled iMesh, but it still appears as home page. I want all parts of iMesh removed. I can't even open my yahoo mail.

revo uninstaller hunter mode full eradication all boxes checked ur prblm slvd
Care should be taken when using, or recommending the use of, any uninstaller product, including Revo. I use the Revo product, but, if the user
- is unfamiliar with what is on their system,
- perhaps can not identify what is a system file and what is not,
- perhaps can identify what is safe to remove and what is not,
any uninstaller product can be very destructive to their system.
Better to take the safe path with the understanding level of the user being an unknown.

Hi all, for those who want to remove imesh as homepage..go in control panel, click on uninstall a program then search for a program name mediabar, you will see its publisher is imesh inc. Uninstall the mediabar, then go on your firefox page click on tool, then option and restore default page :) it works for me, hope it will help you too.
