I have installed bearshare and now when I open firefox, my homepage disappears and the my google search engine is now bearshare which I don't want.
I installed bearshare as my program for downloading music, but after installation, my homepage has disappeared and my google search engine has changed to bear share.
I want google as my default search engine.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
- In the location bar, type about:config and hit Enter.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL
- Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
To reset your home page, do the following.
- Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
- Click the orange Firefox button and go to Options | Options | General.
- Make sure it says "Show My Homepage" in the first dropdown menu.
- Click the button called "Use Current Pages" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
'EDIT': After you complete the above steps, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove the Bearshare Media Bar. It may be called "BMB".
