While installing Digsby (an IM client) I accidentally installed the Babylon toolbar for Firefox. This was one version of Firefox ago and it didn't go away still (I had 3.5, and installed 4 and it still manifests itself).
And yes, I uninstalled the add-on, went to add/remove programs and uninstalled it there, edited about:config
, searched for every instance of babylon and resetted the entries that had it and even deleted babylon.xml
from Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
.
This solved most of my issues with babylon, but as I set my Firefox homepage to be the default (where you get about:home
in the address bar) when I search something in the homepage's searchbox it still goes to babylon, for example: http://search.babylon.com/web/something?AF=15000&babsrc=browsersearch.
I can't find where this is set. Does anyone have an idea of how I can get rid of this?
