The search engine tool bar keeps adding ASK.com after I delete it.
In the search engine tool bar ASK.com keeps being added into the list and placed at the top of the list. I have tried moving it to the bottom of the list and deleting it out on a daily basis, but it keeps going to the top and acting as the default.
I do not like ASK.com and do not want it on my computer. I am not having this issue on my other computer and I can not determine how to keep this from happening.
Thanks, Jeff

- Remove Ask Toolbar (if you have it installed):
- Reset your home page (if the Ask search page is displayed when starting Firefox): http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
- You can reset to the default by clicking "Restore to default" on Options > General > Startup > Home page. Be sure to set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page" on that same panel.
- Reset your Location Bar search engine (if typing a few words in the URL/Location Bar takes you to Ask search):
- type about:config in your Location Bar, like typing a web site address, and press the Enter key
- ignore warning and choose to continue
- in Filter, type keyword.URL
- in lower part of screen, if it is bold and shows "user set", right-click keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
- in Filter, type Ask
- any items in lower part of screen in bold and showing "user set", right-click and choose "Reset"
