RE: Messenger Plus Search Network Hijacked My Browser Search
You have installed the sponsor program. That is the browser toolbar and changing the search to the Plus! search network. Both are two different things! The browser toolbar and the search are independant. So, by disabling the toolbar you haven't changed the search!
Aka, nothing got hijacked, since you agreed in the Plus! setup to install both the toolbar and change the search.
To also change the search back to what it was you indeed need to change your browser's search configuration manually.
I don't use Firefox myself so I can't verify the exact instructions; but it must be done in the browser itself:
- In the browser url bar type about:config.
- Then enter 'keyword' into the filter search bar and change the next keys:
Keyword.URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Keyword.enabled to True
That will reset the search back.
Remember to also disable the toolbar in your browser addons and to uninstall it via 'add/remove programs'.
