I have some entries that were added when I installed Zoom Player. These entries refer to a search engine called "conduit". How do I get rid of these entries?

You can right-click prefs that you no longer need and use Reset in the right-click context menu. They will be removed on the next start of Firefox.

Alternatively you can edit them out of the prefs.js file.

I suggest you to do a Reset, that will clean everything!

Hello Datalyss, also try to use the SearchReset add-on to reset some preferences to the default values (the add-on only runs one tome and then uninstalls automatically).

thank you
