Where/when does this come up?
- when you start Firefox
- when you click the home page icon
- when you search from the address bar or search bar
- when you open a new blank tab
- randomly
I did find an article about omiga-plus that suggests using some other malware cleanup tools: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/isearch-omiga-plus-com-removal/ (try Step 1)
You also might need to check the following:
(1) home page, search engine, new tab page settings
You can reset them back to their default settings using this one-click solution: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
(2) shortcut hijack
If you get the unwanted page on startup but not when you click the Home button or open a new window (Ctrl+n) then check your Firefox shortcut to make sure it's clean.
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
The "Target" should not have any web addresses in it, just this:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
