Well, to be honest, I think you should try to download some spyware removal software like spybot perhaps. Or uninstall this toolbar via control panel. Try this and see if it helped.

All the best, Mike

- Then, right click on every item found and select the option "Restore Default"

I've got it removed from my FireFox 4.

In the FF address bar type 'about:config' and click the enter button. A friendly warning appears about the warranty, which you need to agree to and click the button that says 'I'll be careful. I promise'.

Now type 'babylon' in the filter bar. All registry entries with babylon will show up.

Right click on each entry and reset the value.

This will solve your issue. Let us know if it did. Fixing Fire Fox Four (F4)!!!

There are also some files in the in mozilla firefox folder (c:\programs (x86)\mozilla firefox\) that you need to delete. 1. Make a backup of the folder (c:\programs (x86)\mozilla firefox\) 2. Search for the following terms: "babylon" and "bbyln" (ensure that search includes system and hidden files) 3. Delete all files and folders associated with this two terms 4. Restart firefox; the toolbar should now be gone

I recommend also that you run a free adware removal program such as 'spybot search and destroy' (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html)

I don't know how I got this problem, may have arrived with some software I installed. I followed the guidance given by people on this page. I managed to get rid of it from the Internet explorer, but, it was still sitting on the right hand small search window next to the address bar. I tried various ways, but, nothing worked until..... I clicked on the tiny downward arrow right next to the babylon icon and selected google. I have not seen the problem since.

I deleted the entries from the registry. Check out this site for the procedure - http://dhaka-classy.blogspot.com/2011/12/babylon-tool-bar-remove-uninstal.html. To make it easier, when using regedit, using the regedit search function and search for babylon (case irrelevant).

What steps have you taken ? Try these. 1. Uninstall Babylon

      Here's How
        Start/ Control Panel/Add and Remove/ Look for Baby..etc

2. Go into FireFox FOLDER and delete inside the Folders of

    Plug   ins and     Search Plug ins. and delete babylon
Here's How

       Mozilla Firefox/
     Folder -  Plug ins /  DELETE  ONLY  Babylon

3. When you launch FireFox your home page is still Babylon

      Go to your " Favorite " Site   ( home page ) Then
      Tools in FireFox /  Options / General  and clck use current
      Apply / Save Exit tools.

4. Double check and uninstall add 0ns. In firefox

     Click on Extensions and Plug Ins - uninsall babylon.

5. Do the step over again if needed. 6. If comes back on reboot then turn off system restore and do

   steps 1 - 4 again . Turn back on System restore.
   I did these steps and removed Babylon completely

STEP 2 Will remove the Search engine that you can not get rid of.

Anyone with such problems by all means read this thread for information, but you are better starting your own thread, by asking your own question, because often setups will differ and exactly what has been downloaded and inadvertently or otherwise installed will vary.
