After installing MP3Rocket Firefox address bar search was redirected to mp3rocketsearch.com.Uninstalling of MP3Rocket didn't help.There are no references in Add and Remove Pr., nothing in Firefox addons .

Config file is changed . But when I restore config file, restart of Firefox brings again changed value in config file.The value of keywordURL is set to MP3Rocketsearch.com

What bugs me is why I wasn't able to find anything about this problem on the internet(at least nothing usable)

fixed formatting

As it reverts back when you restart Firefox, the setting may be stored in the user.js file, for details see How to fix preferences that won't save.
