so i have no idea how this happened, but firefox has suddenly decided to start searching using some bullshit branded verizon/yahoo engine by default. (this is when you normally type a keyword into the address bar and it takes you to the "im feeling lucky" result for google.) but now it just goes to this awful engine full of bullshit ads. i've checked the setting in about:config and i still points to google. and the verizon site is not the first result of google for any of the terms i have searched for. (rockbox, firefox default search) oddly enough for more common results it still goes to the site it should, but i don't like this other engine. any help anybody? and btw i was last using the internet at the san jose ca airport, which is provided for free, and didnt ask me to change any settings or anything. could they have somehow unobtrusively snuck in and done this? |

Check your “add/remove programs” list in windows. Remove anything that looks suspicious and that you don't know what does. Install and run . Make sure your virus protection program is running. Run a full virus scan of your computer. Run (but make sure you remember all your passwords, etc, if you don't have firefox set to remember them, because it'll delete the cookies. Run it both for files/programs and for the registry. Reboot. If it's still there, try the firefox support forums. |

youve asked this numerous times before. it's because the extensions are near necessary for me now at this point. |

i think ff3 beats safari out, it seems much faster for me anyway plus important plugins |

thats true as well. i've almost forgotten what using 2 was like, i have been using and supremely pleased with 3 since beta 2 or 3. |
