I unintentionally added the white smoke toolbar. After successfully deleting the toolbar, the search engine remains. How can I take this search engine off my computer?

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

You can do a search on the about:config page for prefs that are referring to the White smoke server/domain and reset them via the right-click context menu.
