Hello! I recently upgraded of mozilla firefox. My browser keeps redirecting me to http://u-search.net/?a=1&e=1. I already tried saving a new homepage and reinstalling firefox. How can I successfully remove this from firefox, and hopefully my computer. I do not have this problem with internet explorer. Thank you!

Bookmark and use this; Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.


Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.

Hi, please have a work through Remove u-search.net (Removal Instructions) by Malware Tips. Note that the article is a little old, and when it refers to the orange Firefox button, that will now be the 3-bar menu.

After removal you may need to use SearchReset if your home page or search preferences have been altered.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
