Hey ewzen,

Sorry to hear that you have been having problems.
What i believe is that the problem is due to the ghostery Add-On itself.

Please Ensure that the version of ghostery u r using is 2.8.3 or above. If not, updating should solve the problem.

Please let us know if it was already uptodate or updating did not solve the issue. Thanks.

Thx 4 your opinion, but I rly think, problem is not in my add-ons neither Ghostery ( ghostery is up to date, "Ghostery for Firefox version 5.3.2" ; ghostery only shows what piece of crap is destroying my browser )... I have found someone's solution in mozila support page that u need to make new profile and this should not happend and then you can transfer your information from old one. But when I tried this one, i created new test profile, totally clear and new, no my information, no addons, no prefferences and still that ugly search engine ( not original google, but ajax) showed up ... I am so despread so I am thinking about changing browser couse of this thing, rly annoying
