upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 first
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask.com toolbar:-
1) Check the Windows Control Panel for the Ask Toolbar - Uninstall them

- Crowdstar toolbar
2) Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down SHIFT key while starting Firefox
- As an alternative method, use Win + R key combination and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:
- firefox -safe-mode
- "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
-> Check your list of extensions, you may be able to Uninstall it from there
