I downloaded imesh as I was trying to find backing music for a song - it didn't have to piece I required. When I downloaded it - imesh became my homepage. I keep on changing my homepage to what I actually want it to be but it reverts to imesh each time I restart Firefox. I have uninstalled imesh from my computer and it still does it. How do stop it from doing this?
