Video with instructions to remove Funmoods, then choose your browser on the video screen for instructions on removing the search engine from the search bar and how to reset your home page, if needed.

Reset your location bar search:

  1. type about:config in your Location Bar, like typing a web site address, and press the Enter key
  2. ignore warning and choose to continue
  3. in Filter, type keyword.URL
  4. in lower part of screen, if it is bold and shows "user set", right-click keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
  5. in Filter, type Funmoods (also Facemoods)
  6. any items in lower part of screen in bold and showing "user set", right-click and choose "Reset"
