Can't get rid of "FromDocToPDF"

I was trying to change a pattern to PDF. and I clicked onto the website FromDocToPdf. I did know that it would take over my Mozilla browser set up, now I want to get rid of it

It looks like that site installs an extension. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. All extensions are optional. If in doubt, disable, and if possible, remove anything you know is unwanted.

Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Success?

Oh, you might still need to restore your preferred home page. Please see one of the following articles for that:
