Ask.com takes over Firefox

I forget what i installed which tried to put the Ask.com toolbar in my browsers, but, i did tell the installer to NOT install it.  however, if i type in a random string in the URL box i get redirected to an Ask.com search which sucks!   Normally, i would get Google search results which are the best still to this day.   Man, i hate when companies just do what they want with your computer without permission.

If i want to use a crappy search engine, i will choose a crappy one.  Ask.com is crap search engine and a shitty company which takes over your computer without permission.  If ask.com trojanizes your browser search engine, you  have to use the Firefox configuration editor to get it back.

In the URL box type:  about:config       There will be a ton of name/value pairs which specify all sorts of configuration items.  Look for:   keyword.url and change it back to: http://www.google.com/search?q=

Now when you type in something to search in the URL box, you will get the awesome search results of Google and not the crappy Ask.com results that you never asked for.  Pun intended.  Fuck you Ask.com
