How do I get rid of ASK.com? It seems to have captured my tab preference.

For some reason when I open a new tab it automatically goes to Ask.com. I want it to go to Google. I can't seem to get Ask.com off this browser. If I can't do this it just may be what pushes me over the edge to leave the whole microsoft mess and go to Linux where they don't have this problem.

The best way to get rid of this is to uninstall the browser and delete any remaining file. Then re install it from mozilla.com. This thing has really become a major problem for many users as it gets installed without any one knowing about it. No adons and unable to change it. So re install it and if the firefox ask to use any previous data or import any data just deny it from doing so and every thing will come back to normal.
