After uninstalling Incredimail (free) on my laptop, I also couldn't get rid of the MyStart search option. Waste many hours. Easy answer... Firefox home page... Firefox drop down menu on upper left... select help... select troubleshooting information... click on Reset Firefox! Voila! Problem gone!

"...the incredimail page still opens when I open Firefox"

Is MyStart set as your home page? Firefox can have multiple home pages separated by the "|" keyboard character.
