  To turn off the all-in - One Sidebar:
  
  Firefox button > Modules > Extensions or Tools > Modules > Extensions

  Then click on All-in-One Sidebar, then click the disable button. The words "restart now" must appear above the disable button. Click "restart now" and let us know the results.

  Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-# .js files and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

• Firefox tab disappeared, have mysearchdial. No program of mysearchdial in installed programs impossible to uninstall. no way to manage add-ons with or without tab firefox orange

  Could not find a way to get rid of mysearchdial. no tab orange browser firefox so can't get to manage no Add ons and any program mysearchdial in the installed programs in Control Panel, so it is impossible to uninstall.

  tried to change the home page but no matter what I do, mysearch dial remains there. went to mysearchdial web page, followed their instructions, no use. Tried to run malwarebytes anti-malware and it has not seen anything like that. my browser opens really slow. The Microsoft Security Essentials is not helping either. I tried booting from the ERD, start did not find any problem. the search on my computer for mysearchdial or something unknown shows nothing. ran put utilities at the point in the registry, found nothing.

  What should I try next? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The easiest way is probably to make a Reset of Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your personal data (bookmarks, history, etc.) will be saved, but you will have to reinstall all your addons.

  Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

  If you don't arrive in the Firefox Orange menu to do the reset and then close Firefox and then hold down the SHIFT key while you open it. This will bring up a menu that gives you the ability to reset Firefox.

  The problem is that (as you've identified) there is a chance that Firefox will get hijacked again if you are unable to remove malware from your computer.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  I also suggest looking at the list of programs for starting and turning off one you don't want to or don't recognize. All that is originally from the diversion of mysearchdial is likely to be listed in the startup list, because he wants to run as soon as the computer starts.

  I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

• The add-on guard bar reappear whenever I restart Firefox

  Hello

  I have problems with the add-on bar. After using Chrome for so long, have something on the bottom of the screen too much space, it is disturbing to me. I always cut the bar module because I put all my Add on icons next to the address bar in Chrome, but whenever I have to close and restart Firefox, the bar of the add-on always reappears. Is there a way I can keep it from coming back? I use Firefox 5. It's a minor annoyance because 2 clicks will get rid of it, but I'd rather not have to do anyway.

  Thank you.

  This is normally caused by an extension of the problem. For example, the extension of McAfee Site Advisor is known to make the bar of the add-on to continually resurface.

  You can use the procedure in the following link to determine which add-on is causing your problem - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

• Firefox 7 returns to the default theme instead of the theme that I use whenever I restart firefox

  Updated to Ffx 7 there not so long ago. Theme I was using on ffx 3 isn't compatible yet. So I found a new theme, that will do for now. But whenever I close ffx, it reopened with the default theme in the use of . So I have to go to add-ons, and then click the theme I want and restart ffx. This happens with any theme that I have (for test purposes). In addition, no matter what theme I try to remove is always there after I close ffx and restart. I click on delete, but it is said it is removed (with the Cancel option). It is never really deleted . So when I restart ffx, the complete list is here as if I never withdrew anything, again showing all the topics with a button to delete.
