Problem
Yesterday my dad complained that after installing something so and so, ICQ toolbar came into affect in Firefox browser. Not only that but it also took over as his default search engine. Being the household certified tech-geek, it came down upon me to find a solution.
Well it seemed pretty clear that all I needed to do was to:
Go to File -> Tools -> Addons. Under the Extensions tab find the ICQ toolbar addon and click Uninstall.
Easy!
Not so fast bud.
Firefox then tells you to restart the browser and when I did just that, ICQ still hung around like a guest that just wont leave.
Solution
When looking for the solution, this is what worked for me:
Simply went to:
C:\Users\YOURACCOUNT\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\YOURPROFILE
Edit extensions.ini
In section ExtensionDirs delete all rows looking like ……. {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.
I simply got rid of the whole line there. And that was it!
Hope it works for you the readers.
