I spent 3 hours trying to get rid of abuchak. None of the fixes worked so I just installed a new google toolbar. That took about 30 seconds...No more abuchak!
Remove Abuchak
- Remove "ConnectBar (version)" extension (if you have it installed):
- Add-ons > Extensions, click "Remove" next to "ConnectBar (version)" if it is in your Extensions list, then Re-start Firefox.
- See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
- See: http://support.mozilla.com/n-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
- Reset your home page (if the Abuchak search page is displayed when starting Firefox): http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
- You can reset to the default by clicking "Restore to default" on Options > General > Startup > Home page. Be sure to set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page" on that same panel.
- Reset your Location Bar search engine (if typing a few words in the URL/Location Bar takes you to Abuchak search):
- type about:config in your Location Bar, like typing a web site address, and press the Enter key
- ignore warning and choose to continue
- in Filter, type keyword.URL
- in lower part of screen, if it is bold and shows "user set", right-click keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
- in Filter, type abuchak
- any items in lower part of screen in bold and showing "user set", right-click and choose "Reset"
- close about:config tab

- If Abuchak is shown in your Search Bar and you want to remove it:
If you still have a problem with Abuchak search:
- Use Firefox Safe Mode to find a problem with an Extension or Plugin:
- Don't check anything when entering Safe Mode, just continue
- If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode it is probably and Extension or Plugin causing the problem
