This used to be what I saw on the main area in front of me, but now I have a thing with MySearchDial in front and I can't change back. I have deleted My Search Dial from the programs. Thanks for your help. Harry

hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

Thanks for your help. I've tried both those options and neither has worked. I downloaded the add-on and removed the user.js file. Any more ideas?
