[QUOTE="serpently, post: 1121552, member: 174742"] [b]Vshare problem solved[/b] Hi, I’ve just had the same problem that you are having, but I’ve just found the solution. The reason you are still having this problem is because the plugin changed the configuration settings in firefox. This means that even though you have uninstalled the plugin the settings are still in place. To correct this you will have to type “about:config” into the address bar, Press enter and you will receive a warning message from firefox saying something like ”here be dragons be careful if you are unsure” ect. But if you want to fix the problem you will just have to trust me. ;) Now at the top is a filter, so type “vshare” into this and you will find all the things in your settings with this particular word. Now to change the settings. Please change the following. vshare.install.istoolbarhp;true change to false vshare.install.istoolbarsearch;true change to false and this one is the important one your keyword.URL ie your addressbar configuration will have been changed to vshares own search engine, to change it back simply go to this website and get the url from there [url]http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL[/url] i tried to type it myself but it only submits as a shortened link.
