All of a sudde I have "ask" on my computer. How do I get rid of this nuisance
When I put in a search term in the google search box, the page reverts to an "ASK" search. How do I get rid of this. I went into my control panel and uninstalled the ask toolbar but this hasn't helped. Thank you.

Try installing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/. It will reset your search to the default.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
- Open the about:config page via the location bar
- Type in the Filter bar: mstone
- Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
- Close and restart Firefox

If that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
