Hello,

You may have the Ask.com toolbar accidentally installed. If this is the case, see this article for a solution: Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Be sure to run the SearchReset Add-on step.

Let us know if this helps!

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:

Thanks again <<<<>>>>
