Hi, first try removing it from your search engine list: Manage Firefox search settings.
If it still comes back, you may have a malware issue. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Incidentally, you have 2 versions of Shockwave Flash - which can cause problems, so the oldest should be removed from your machine -
- Install Flash Player - take care to deselect any optional offers!
