JZip insists on being my home page and won't accept a change. How do I get rid of it? I've deleted all the Jzip files I could get to.

Under tools, there is an option category where the home page can be changed. Jzip will not accept the change or permanently restore the default.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of that page.

You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Uninstall jzip. Then do a search on jzip on your C drive (?) and delete everything you find. Be sure to delete files under Program Files/Windows jZip Toolbar. This fixed it for me.
