I am not sure wether it is a virus or just a very disrepectful website. I browsed through all Firefox options and there is no way to assign a default adress for a new tab. I check my program list in the configuration pannel and there is nothing from Incredibar, ASK or Mystart to uninstall.

Please help me!

hi aeromaniak, to make sure you don't have any adwares, PUP, LPIs or hijackers, i advice you to download adwcleaner. if you don't already know it, it will detect all these kinds of programs. no install required, you just have to launch the downloaded file and then click on scan. when it's done, click on clean.

You can download adwcleaner here.

After that, if nothing changes, you should launch an antivirus scan.

i hope i've been helpful.

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

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and search for prefs that refer to incredibar. You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
