Edit, removed email address. This is a public website and indexed by search engines. So a privacy issue and potentially will result in email spamming.

  • You have the option to display your email address in your profile.
    Checkbox in profile /users/edit
  • You may re add it here in this post if you wish, now that you are aware of the risks.
  • Your email address as used at registration will still be used for automated emails if you subscribe to threads.

Once you have the problem sorted out,

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.

In order to get rid of PriceMinus manually you need to: 1. Select START 2. Choose Control Panel 3. Remove Price Minus the technique you do it with other rightful software. 4. Also, you must eliminate all malicious extensions from your internet browser.

If manual way is difficalt, you may choose automatic removal. Please, click software link removed.
