    I've been using Firefox, now all I get when I click on the shortcut (Firefox) is MSN.  I don't want MSN!  I tried to delete MSN is going tto Panel; Add/Remove.  Whenever I try to delete MSN, I get a message that it cannot be done; Maybe my connection to the net is not active.  It IS - I can see the indicator.

    This message also said if I couldn't access to remove it, go to the support.  -Here I am.  After hours of trying.  Not sure, at 86, I have much more time to try to get this straightened out.

    It seems that MSN.com has been on the home page in Firefox.  Here's a site with good instructions on how to set the home page you prefer: set your homepage in Firefox.

    You can uninstall MSN as a component of windows like Andrew said, but it is not necessary if all you want to do is change your homepage.  If Firefox is the only browser that you use once you change the homepage you probably won't see MSN again.

    Best luck!

It's the f * ing ridiculous to make it difficult to remove the damn thing. There is nothing in my control panel command called bing, or msn toolbar in ccleaner. I'm at my wits end on this thing. Help me!!! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Thank you very much. Told me on other sites, he was called to the search bar, but it was not appear in my control panel under this name. It was also not in my extensions in Firefox. I removed an extension I was not using more, and then he was there. He appeared in my extensions under the name of toolbar search. Weird. I really doubt that many times I went in my extensions are looking for different names, I was told it was, that I missed as many times. I guess it's possible, but highly unlikely. In any case, thanks for your help guys.
