How do I get rid of babylon logo on adress bar?
I've gotten rid of most of babylon, but its logo is still on the address bar with every website. I've deleted the program and search toolbar, done the about:config stuff, deleted every thing in regedit that says babylon or bbyln, reset firefox back to its defaults, disabled all plug-ins, and maybe more, but the logo is still there in the address bar. The correct logo is there in the drop down box when I start to type a new address, like "y" and the drop down box has the yahoo logo and yahoo.com. How do I get rid of this thing?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
If this is about favicons then try to reset places.sqlite database file.
Attached is the screenshot. I also deleted the places.sqlite file, rebooted, and restarted Firefox - same problem in address bar.
That is a toolbar button on the Navigation Toolbar.
Is that button still there if you start Firefox in Safe mode?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
It does the same in safe mode. I only have the default theme.
I also got rid of the localstore.rdf file, but that didn't help/
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

You can also try to reset Firefox:
I created a new profile, but the problem was still there.

Since it was so hard to get rid of most of your babylon stuff, I'm definitely not going to click on a link that you suggested! Thanks, but no thanks!!!
