Babylon

Hi.

I installed some really crappy software called Babylon yesterday before I even realized I was doing it. Nightmare

I uninstalled it going through Control Panel and it showed as being uninstalled there and then but when I went back into FFox after a restart the Babylon Toolbar was still there.

Also whenever I do a search in the address bar I get a Babylon result which is not what I want. I want Google(despite their tracking).

Can anyone help me out on this?

There is nothing left to uninstall.

Cheers for your help, Ste. :)

Hi.

Thanks to you both. Using your ideas I got rid of everything. The last thing being in "about:config" which was changing a babylon value to:

keyword.URL;google.co.uk

Something strange has happened here though as now when I type in a general string into the address bar, e.g. 'three' - it gives me different pages of results than I am used to. I live in the UK and this above entry seems to send me to international results, in this case for Three the telecom company.

Normally I get a list of results instead of being directed to major sites.

Do you know why this is? It's defo something to do with the:

keyword.URL;google.co.uk

I put in. I just wonder if you know of the standard that I would put in for the UK?

Thanks for your time, top advice, cheers, Ste. :)

Tried that stve and it didn't work for the address bar. The search engine at the top right of FF still works, just a shame I can't use the address bar like I normally do. Valiant effort though, appreciate it. :)

Cheers again stve, I've got an add-on that does a good job of that called FEBE. If I can't take the address bar that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it. Cheers, Ste.

Try this: Uninstall it.
then go to Regedit
Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > BABYLON -DELETE-
babylontoolbar delete
Done.
then disable the add-ons of course.
