Hi, I think this is due to an extension.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:

1. Click the menu button and choose Add-ons.
2. Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
3. You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
4. To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
5. Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the Restart now link in the message.

You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

• Disable or remove Add-ons

• Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
