How do you disable MySearch Dial to being the value by default when you open a new tab?

I was able to change from being the default in the search box at the top of the browser, but every time I open a new tab the whole tab by default is always to the search page of MySearchDial. I think it was somehow installed on my pc via the malware and it seems to have gotten rid of it in IE and Chrome, but he persists in Firefox. Also I do not see it in the list of programs in the control panel so I can't uninstall it like that (unless it's called something else?).

Hello, you have various present malicious addons. Please, try the following steps:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.
