I have tried every possible method, but it just won't move. What if I uninstall Firefox, and reinstall?

Chances are you won't get everything by just uninstalling Firefox. The original "program" that carried that garbage onto your PC needs to be completely removed, or it may just re-infect you all over again. See this - http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-istartsurf-virus/

After I did the process with the three browsers, istartsurf disappeared. I downloaded and ran Adw cleaner, and Malwarebytes. Only problem when I tried to statr Firefox, it crashed. Everything OK now, thanks,
