It downloaded with another program and now I can't get rid of it. I have removed it from my search engine list and it is still there. It is not listed in Programs and Features on Control Panel so I can't uninstall it. It has taken over my home page.

(2) Suspicious Extensions

You may have one or more unwanted extensions. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
