Remove MyWebSearch from my default search in Firefox


Somehow my wife got MyWebSearch loaded on my Windows 7 computer, which cleaned off fine, except for Firefox web searching! Every time I used the Awesome Bar to search, MyWebSearch showed the results.

Easy fix…  go to “about:config” in Firefox by typing it in the URL bar.  In the Filter box, type “myweb”.  In my system, it showed 4 items with “mywebsearch” in the name.  All I did was right-click each one and select “Reset” to clear them.  Restart Firefox and BAM!  Solved!  No more MyWebSearch and now I get the normal Google results!
