Gekose oplossing

  1. Uninstall jZip (or Windows jZip or Windows jZip Toolbar) from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
  2. Open Windows Explorer
    • Navigate to the C:\Program Files\jZip Toolbar folder
    • Double-click uninstall
    • Delete the Windows jZip Toolbar folder.
  3. In Firefox, remove the Add-on if it is there
    • Choose Add-ons > Extensions.
    • Select the jZip Toolbar entry if it's there and click the Uninstall button.
    • Close the Add-ons Manager tab/window
  4. In Firefox, reset preferences
    • Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
    • If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    • Filter = jzip
    • In results in the bottom panel, right-click each entry and choose Reset.
  5. Restart Firefox.

There should have been options during the jZip installation; see image below.

Thanks for fixing the problem with a fixed default page caused by Jzip. I am angry at Jzip. I will never use them again.
