I opened my computer the other day and my normal firefox page had disappeared and this thing called facemoods had taken over. I tried pulling the firefox icon to home and saying yes, but next time I opened up, there was facemoods again. I dont like it and I dont want something to decide for me. how can I kill it and go back to firefox? and now, even though I'm on firefox, this thing is still in the top right search box rather than google search I'm not a geek and I dont understand these things, so if an easily understandable answer can be provided I'll be grateful

There is an add-on called FaceMoods, to remove it, follow the instructions for uninstalling extensions in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

I have this facemoods thing installed also. There was NEVER a program to uninstall (from the control panel "uninstall" list) and there was NEVER an icon in the add-on/extensions lists for Mozilla. I managed to change my homepage and the location bar search but I am still stuck with the "facemoods" search bar at thte top of my browser. How do I get rid of it? Also, when I open a new tab, it takes me to a spam page rather than the page I typed in. I am getting increasingly angry over this whole situation. Any help would be great.
