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.

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.
