Actually want to report that Add-On "Flash Video Downloader Suite or FVD Suite" has a built in search engine hijacker. Suggest you ban it.
I installed FVD Suite because it sounded like it was a good all in one video downloader. WHen installing it asked me if I wanted to switch my search engine to theirs and I selected no. However, once installed it tried on several occasions to hijack my search engine. Luckily I have a search engine protection "BrowserProtect" which blocks any attempt to make changes to my browser settings. After about 2 or 3 days I finally got tired of the hijack attempts and tried to uninstall FVD Suite. At that time I found out that it was also running in several other places on my computer other than just in Firefox. Not sure why or what it was doing, not that skilled, but didn't like the fact that it was in other places and also don't like having my browser constantly under attack from a plug-in.

Dis you get it here?

I have the same issue.
I can't get rid of this thing. I've done all the obvious addons/control panel add/remove, and it still shows up when i type in, say 'firefox' in my address bar as the FVD search engine instead of loading google, doing the 'feeling lucky' search and sending you on to that first result.
Hopefully FF 4 will be out of beta soon and i can just trash this install completely.
You can easily solve this problem by removing one line from Your profile prefs.js file.
1. Close Your Firefox
2. Go to directory were You have Your profile stored default setting below
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'p9mdzysh.default"
3. In profile directory find file "prefs.js" and delete whole line which contain string "flashvideodownloader.org/result.php"
4. Start Up Firefox and Enjoy :)
I just downloaded this yesterday, and I want it removed. I'm having trouble with step #3. I can't find "delete whole line which contain string "flashvideodownloader.org/result.php".
Please help.
