“I got a “search here” virus on my Firefox browser.. had to stop using it. “

The ‘cure’ for that problem is to ‘reset’ Firefox.

Go to ‘Help’ > ‘Trouble Shooting Information’ > ‘Reset Firefox’ (on the top right). Click it.

Firefox will reset to ‘default’ without losing your Bookmarks or saved passwords.

It will then create and ‘old Firefox’ folder on the desktop that you can either keep as a ‘backup’ or delete.

I deleted mine. (After all, that’s where the problem was in the first place)
