Whenever I search in the address bar, it sends me to gigabase search engine. How do I fix this?
I've tried doing the about:config and the manage search engines. It doesn't work though. But, the about:config only works if you don't restart Firefox.

If you do not keep changes on a restart then see:

I had the same problem today. I tried everything, then i found the solution...
- Just go on your firefox profile directory (C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default"), and search the file user.js.
- Close Firefox, Open "user.js" with notepad and look if there is something about "gigabase search"...
- Now, if there is just some text about it, you can close the file and delete it.
- If instead in user.js there are some other strings, you have to delete just the text about "gigabase search" (something like: "keyword.url" and "browser.serach"), then save and close the file.
I hope this can help you.

Same issue in both v 15 and still in v 16. I have no "user.fs" at all but neither "prefs.js" nor "about:config" have an entry for "Gigabase." What next?
