How can I install FireFox without all the add ons? I just want Firefox or 2nd best IE.
I installed Firefox and these add ons was attached to it. Add ons like Nation Zoom, and a pc fix and a pc speed programs. All I want is FireFox and nothing more. After getting rid of all the "bulk" , I had to uninstall FireFox too. I therefore resorted back to IE. I much rather have Firefox over IE but if it's coming with programs I don't want, I can live with IE. I'll also tell my friends about my experience with Firefox. I had no problems in the pass.

hello Howel7450, this sound like an issue with adware on your pc. first please only download firefox from its official location at getfirefox.com to make sure there is no unwanted bundled crap with it!
- depending on how you've uninstalled firefox, you might have to perform a reset after you install it again to get it into a clean state: reset firefox (this wil keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
The only add-on Mozilla will put on your computer are the add-ons that you ask for. Firefox, when you get it, has no add-ons installed.
