I have two things attached to my firefox browser which I cannot get rid of. Plugin-container.exe and a tool bar called MywebSearch. How do I get rid of these things?
The tool bar called MyWebSearch has replaced the Mozilla Firefox start page which is Google. I want to remove it. The Plugin-container.exe is something that I do not know about. Thank you. Bernard Moses

plugin-container.exe is an integral part of Firefox, for details on it and how to disable it if you do not want it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can normally uninstall MyWebSearch from the Windows control panel.
- Close Firefox and any other browsers
- In the Windows taskbar, from the "Start" menu select "Control Panel"
- Select "Add/Remove Programs"
- In the list of installed programs select "My Web Search Bar"
- Click "Change/Remove" and you should be asked to uninstall it
If the home page is still wrong, use the procedure in this link to change it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Thanks TonyE for your reply to my question. However, I have tried your solution and it does not work because, "My Web Search Bar" does not appear in the list of installed programs. That is the reason that I asked the question. In my case, I do not know where to find the program. I do plan to find out what is at the link which you provided: https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page.
Again, thank you for your reply. I hope that someone can help me find out where "My Web Search Bar" is located on my computer.
