How can I update Firefox without having the Web Crawler too.

I used the update to the latest Firefox offered when I opened my current version of Firefox. The download was uneventful. Then I tried to use the "new improved version of Firefox". When I tried to search for something my Google was overridden and Web Crawler took over. I could not remove any reference to Web Crawler and have the new version work. I finally ended up deleting Firefox completely and reloading from a thumb drive. Everything is good again, but I would like to upgrade if there is a way to avoid Web Crawler. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Watch out for unofficial upgrades, which sometimes are advertised in popups generated by web pages using official-looking text and images. If you get a prompt and you're not sure it's trustworthy, you can always get Firefox from here:
