Firefox won't reset new tab...

I try to reset the new tab to default. I try to change it from damn stupid Conduit to the default. Conduit is a big bitch and plus, it searches with Bing. Yuck :P. But, when I change it back to default, it won't. It disobeys my commands. I have no Conduit extensions or plugins listed in Addons Manager.

 

BTW, this is Firefox. Chrome seems to listen to me better.

No idea what Conduit is but it sounds like you may have a browser hijacker on your hands. Check your add / delete programs for suspicious software.

Some crappy search engine. Should I reinstall Firefox to remove it?

1: plug your lan cable out!!!!!

2: go to your software repository look for Conduit if it is installed in your windows remove it.

3: look for plugins or addons for Conduit remove them then clear all cache and cookies

4: open about:config in url bar

5: search for Conduit in the page reset the values and change (this one is important) it to google or so..

6: delete the search engine in google for Conduit

7: set google as you're start page

8: reboot the pc while the lan cable is still of open firefox and see if it came back if not you're safe

 

TIP look for Conduit in other browsers it may have installed there to.

1. I don't use ethernet

2. Nothing related to Conduit

3. Still nothing Conduit related.

4, 5. Done that. Nothing.

6. Conduit is nowhere for search engine.

7. Already did so.

8. Again, no ethernet. Only wifi.

 

So, should I reinstall Firefox?
