ASK comes up for Firefox.
For the last few days I have deleted everything having to do with Firefox, Mozilla, maintenance, etc. I have tried downloading several different versions of Firefox, cleaning the computer each time, but when Firefox comes up it is the ASK ME search engine. Any ideas on how to fix this? Ask Me is nowhere in the computer's control panel or programs.

Re: ASK comes up for Firefox.
Moving to Firefox Support as no bug has been identified here. This may be a malware issue.
Install and run these programs, consecutively, not simultaneously.

ASK is bundled with a lot of "free" software try
