There are three stages to solving this. Firstly find what was installed and then uninstall it. Finally reset anything that has been changed.

Firefox has a reset option that may well help but could be overkill. There is also an extension that resets a lot of the settings without damaging anything else. See


If you remove Babylon and still have a final problem with the homepage search icon look at this information: /questions/779082#answer-340641 posted by cor-el
:

Note that this won't restore the search icon on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
  1. Open the about:config page via the location bar
  2. Type in the Filter bar: mstone
  3. Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
  4. Close and restart Firefox
