Tip: Remove Ask toobar in Firefox

It has been sometime, I’ve experienced in my Firefox, Ask.com somehow appears whenever I enter a wrong url, etc.. I’ve tried to look in Firefox options, Control Panel, remove programs, etc.. without success.

Well, I just found the solution for it:

Open a new tab or window, type “about:config” and hit enter, this brings up the all powerful settings of Firefox. Agree to the warning that you could mess things up; Find keyword.url, you should find a Ask.com url on the right. Double click on it and change keyword.url string to something else like http://www.google.com/search?q=
