I constantly have been removing ASK as the search engine as I want to use Google. I remove it and it reappears a day later instead of Google. What can I do?
I left click on the search box and it brings up the potential search engines. I click on manage search engines and then click on ASK which I then remove. Within a day or two ASK has again replaced Google as the search engine. This doesn't happen on my laptop which I also run Firefox on.
