Why does Ad-Aware SecureSearch come up when I start Firefox?
Hi All Whenever I start Firefox, Ad-Aware SecureSearch comes up in place of DuckDuckgo. Why do I get Ad-Aware instead of DuckDuckgo? I have not added the Ad-Aware search engine and would rather just use Duck-Duck-Go. Many thanks for any help, Gerry.

Check firefox launch shortcut. It might launch firefox with specific page. Also check search and homepage settings in firefox itself.

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Ad-Aware “ Anything.
