"MySpace powered by Blekko" loads up every time I click on my Mozilla Firefox Browser shortcut - I want it off of there.

I am running Windows 7 Operating System. I have no idea how Blekko got into my computer. I have uninstalled Blekko, but even so every time I click on my Mozilla Firefox browser shortcut the MySpace search page comes up. I don't want it to come up.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Is it possible that you are referring to 'MyStart' rather than 'MySearch'?

This sounds like a homepage reset issue. It's really easy to change your homepage in Firefox via the browser settings menu.
