When I download Firefox it comes bundles with that intrusive "MyWebSearch." How do I get rid of that permanently?

Every time I have attempted to download the Firefox browser on my laptop, it pops up with the "MyWebSearch" bundled. This is intrusive and annoying. I have never requested MyWebSearch. How do I get rid of it permanently?

Sorry, when a person downloads Firefox from an official Mozilla download mirror, Firefox doesn't include "extras" like MyWebSearch.

When Firefox is downloaded elsewhere there is a chance that "extras" were added or that it might include Malware or worse.

See this Google search for "remove MyWebSearch" for tips on removing it.
