You have an item installed in your plugins that is considered by many to be malware/spyware/adware, "My Web Search Plugin Stub". This type of pest is usually installed along with software you download from the internet; generally free programs, but not always.

    • Below the Filter, if keyword.URL is bold, right-click on keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
    • Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
