I've tried to delete Nectar toolbar from programs, as I get Nectar page on opening Firefox, but still got Nectar on opening Firefox. Deleted Firefox and re-downloaded and Nectar is still there! I'm not really well versed on the technical side and aged 74, but did get rid of "Nectar Toolbar" from my programs file.

Chosen solution

Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.


Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.

I downloaded Mozilla Search Reset as you suggested, (and held my breath!); it worked! - so quickly and so easy. Many many thanks.
