How is that related to Firefox support?

Well, Ask Toolbar usually gets installed in either Firefox or IE. It even affects Chrome. The toolbar isn't a standalone program. It has to load in a browser. And it looks he got it when he installed Java. So he's otherwise just venting.

Well said brother! To hell with Ask! I'm surprised they're still even in business.

Try this Ask Toolbar removal guide:

It's straight forward and pretty comprehensive. Should get the job done.
