After uninstal;ling the Ad-Aware the Lavasoft secure search remaned as a homepage and it does not show up in the program list in the control center that could be uninstalled!

Did you try restore your home page?
or go to about:config search for browser.startup.homepage change its value to:
about:home - default value
about:blank - blank page
url - a link that you want
Also see if your homepage change in safe mode:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
