I have checked the add on page and extension and there is no myserach in there. I have deleted everything from my computer related to mysearch. After I change my search to another homepage through the tools menu, once I restart firefox it keeps showing mysearch as the home page. Please help. Thank you

Have you tried to change the home page from Settings > In general tab > startup.

Try changing it there, if it doesn't you can try to reset your Firefox

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to mysearch and reset related user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can also check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
