Well thank you again. Incredible how hard it has become to track it down, it used to be a snitch. I removed Babylon off a friends computer last week with no problems but this was beyond awful. Thank you very much and my daughter is banned from downloading anything unless I check it first btu I could never pin down where she picked it up from.0

What you need to do now, is open Firefox normally disable all extensions, then re-enable them one by one until you find the one causing the problem. You can them remove it.
Disable all extensions: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_disable-all-extensions0 -
All extensions are currently enabled, if it was hidden in there somewhere would it not still be hijacking my searches?0

The only two that were disabled that I enabled one by one were both McAfee. No problems there. I must go to bed but I will check in the morning for your reply.
