I have used Firefox for a few years and am happy with it. Downloaded Firefox 6 to a new computer, and with it came the ASK toolbar. I don't want that, and have tried everything I can find to get rid of it, but you have planted it too deep. How do I get rid of ASK and keep the Firefox I know. As the web is full of similar questions, why do you piggyback this irritating thing onto a perfectly good program. thank you

The Ask Toolbar did not come with the Firefox update. Something else you installed or updated carried that add-on with it.

There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar and remove it:

Uninstalling Ask Toolbar-

There are so much programs that bundle these type of toolbars, you have to deselect the toolbar in the program installation. See the list

I remember, once I installed Nero 9. In the Nero 9 installation wizard, you couldn't de-select Ask Toolbar and without installing Ask Toolbar the setup would not continue. After installing Nero removing Ask Toolbar did not have any effect on Nero Burning services.
