There are three stages to solving this. Firstly find what was installed and then uninstall it. Finally reset anything that has been changed.
Firefox has a reset option that may well help but could be overkill. There is also an extension that resets a lot of the settings without damaging anything else. See
- Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../searchreset/
- or to do it manually http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
- main help article Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page
If you remove Babylon and still have a final problem with the homepage search icon look at this information: /questions/779082#answer-340641 posted by cor-el
:
Note that this won't restore the search icon on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
- Open the about:config page via the location bar
- Type in the Filter bar: mstone
- Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
- Close and restart Firefox
