You need to check out when an update from Java. It ask to to install Ask. I unchecked it and it still installed. Then wreaks havoc to Firefox.

To remove the Ask toolbar, try here:

Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category

If you have a Disable button but not Remove or Uninstall button, you might need to use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall it.

By the way, your post shows Firefox 3.6.6, which is an insecure version. You should update at least to 3.6.18. You can do that using Help > Check for updates.

If you don't have 3.6.6, please indicate which version you actually have.
