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

  1. Remove Ask Toolbar (if you have it installed):
  2. 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.
  3. Reset your Location Bar search engine (if typing a few words in the URL/Location Bar takes you to Ask search):
  4. If Ask is shown in your Search Bar and you want to remove it:
