I FINALLY got rid of JZip, but when I open a new tab, search.jzip.com is the home page. How do I fix this?
I installed JZip awhile back for unzipping files. It became my Firefox home page. By researching online, I found a procedure to uninstall it and remove remaining files, but now it becomes home page when I open a new tab

Follow all the steps just to be sure.
- Uninstall jZip (or Windows jZip or Windows jZip Toolbar) from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to the C:\Program Files\jZip Toolbar folder
- Double-click uninstall
- Delete the Windows jZip Toolbar folder.
- In Firefox, remove the Add-on if it is there
- Choose Add-ons > Extensions.
- Select the jZip Toolbar entry if it's there and click the Uninstall button.
- Close the Add-ons Manager tab/window
- In Firefox, reset preferences
- Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
- Filter = jzip
- In results in the bottom panel, right-click each entry and choose Reset.
- Restart Firefox.
There should have been options during the jZip installation; see image below.
An excellent free application to replace jZip (and the one that I have used for a very long time) that does not install all the "extras" is 7zip:
