Browser taken over by Delta homes
Well I noticed today when I got on that instead of the normal google newtab and search engine there was a thing called delta homes.. I went to about:config to change the newtab to google.. and changed my homepage to it aswell... But when I open firefox it still will pop up and open what ever tab I didn't close... So after a bet I decided to reset firefox.. I did that and it still didn't work.. My friend suggested to uninstall firefox. So I did that.. Lost all my bookmarks.. Had to put em back on and stuff.. Well I was fine doing that as long as it got rid of delta homes.. Well I was watching a video and the browser closed it self.. I opened it back up and delta homes was back again. So any ideas how to get rid of it>?
