</p><p>This last procedure led me to the solution.
I found that even though the extension was deleted from within Firefox it had not been deleted from the profile.
I found that in the default profile directory (default is the normal profile I have) there is an "searchplugins" folder there there 2 .xml files one of which was the onesearch.xml and the other mozilla-support.xml. I re-named the onesearch.xml to onesearch.xm, re-started Firefox and hey presto problem gone.

</p><p>In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
</p>
<ul><li>all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
</li><li>default theme is used (no persona)
</li><li>userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder in profile folder)
</li><li>default toolbar layout is used
</li><li>JavaScript JIT compilers are disabled
</li><li>hardware acceleration is disabled (Options &gt; Advanced &gt; General)
</li></ul>
<ul><li>plugins are not affected
</li><li>preferences are not affected
</li></ul>
<hr>
<p>Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
</p>
<ul><li><a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox" rel="nofollow">http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox</a>
</li></ul>
<p>Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
</p><p>You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
</p><p>See "Creating a profile":

</li></ul>
<p>If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

</p><p>You can disable nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
</p>
<ul><li> Ctrl+Shift+a
</li><li> "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) &gt; Add-ons
</li></ul>
<p>In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if you don't plan to use it for the next 24 hours, disable.
</p><p>Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
</p>
<hr>
<p>To post your list of extensions, you can copy/paste from this page (3 ways to get there):
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" button &gt; Troubleshooting Information
</li><li> (menu bar) Help &gt; Troubleshooting Information
</li><li> type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
</li></ul>
<p>Extensions are in the third table on the page.
</p><p>It might be equally messy, but there is a button in the upper left of the page to copy the page to the clipboard instead of selecting.

To rule those out as potential culprits, have you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: <a href="/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode" rel="nofollow">Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode</a>.
</p><p>You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" button &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li><li> Help menu &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li></ul>
<p>Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
</p><p>After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (<em>not</em> Reset).
</p><p>Any difference?

<p>Note that the screenshot shows firefox.exe in the updated folder.
This means that Firefox has updated of was updating when Malware bytes noticed this problem.
To finish the update Firefox should be moving the files in this folder to the main Firefox Firefox program folder.
So it is possible that something went wrong with updating or you didn't install a Firefox version from the Mozilla server or this is a false positive and Malware bytes did a reverse DNS look up to resolve an IP.

<p>Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
</p>
<ul><li>Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br><a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/</a>
</li></ul>
<p>If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
</p>
<ul><li>Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
</li></ul>
<p>Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
</p>
<ul><li>(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
</li><li>(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
</li></ul>
<ul><li>It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
</li><li><a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox" rel="nofollow">http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox</a>
</li></ul>
<p>Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
</p><p>You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History &gt; Show All History" or "View &gt; Sidebar &gt; History") or via the about:permissions page.
</p><p>Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
</p><p>You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
</p><p>It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
