Hi, I think Lasoren must have installed through something else without me realising. I deleted it from uninstall programmes in control panel, but it hasn't solved the problem. Whenever I open firefox, it has the firefox home page, but says Lasaren in the search bar (faint text); and when I search and click for a website, it takes me to yahoo search engine, which I don't like.

Please does anyone know do I get back firefox properly?

Thanks,

See this - http://www.lasaorenweb.com/how-to-remove/

In addition to uninstalling Lasaoren via the Control Panel, it looks like you need to reset your Homepage to default, remove the Search Engine, and remove the Lasaoren Search extension from Firefox.

thanks the-edmeister - those extra steps worked! i've got firefox back, phew. I don't know how I got lasaoren installed on my computer in the first place, as I didn't choose it; I hadn't even heard of it until it completed replaced the firefox search engine.

Thanks again; that was really bugging me!
