-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:

1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:

1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites

-> Click OK on Options window

-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox

You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

First, I disabled and removed BABYLON toolbar from toolbar menu and control panel. ==> it removed the toolbar search. but it still remained in search dialog box and in address bar search

Second, I removed BABYLON search engine and related search.conduit.com entries from Firefox ==> it removed BABYLON from showing up on search dialog box. but it still remained in the address bar search.

Third, in About:config, I tried to remove or change entries with "babylon" filter string. ==> But this did not work.

Lastly, I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from Control Panel. And removed all customization settings.

I just had to reinstall the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. ==> This worked very well.

I hope Mozilla Firefox provides users to better manage the search engine choices in future.

I don't trust Babylon, DON'T INSTALL IT!

Thank you for your answer. It took me sometime to follow your instruction but now Babylon is out of sight.

UNINSTALL FIREFOX - THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN REINSTALL. They have a new "Browser Protect" thing - download it upon reinstallation. It will pop up a window which will show Babylon. "BLOCK" it. DONE. NO MORE FREAKIN' BABYLON! YAY!!! MAN, I'M GLAD THAT'S OVER!

thanks friend. i have successfully uninstall babylon tool bar and search engine which automatically opnes in fire box

from the manage addon option, remove the babylon search ! Its done voila !!!
