I have tried to reset it every way I know possible but I can not get my default search engine as Google again. It won't even let me erase the fast browser search toolbar and it is not letting me erase it from my programs either. Please help I hate this search engine.

You can reset the prefs general.useragent.override and keyword.URL on the about:config page.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig

general.useragent.override
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 YFF35 Firefox/3.6.8 FBSMTWB

keyword.URL

See these pages and threads about Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB in the user agent, Help > About).
