I removed MySearchdial which somehow was installed but the references still show up in about:config.

Noticed MySearchdial had hijacked by search box. Checked and found extension had been added. Deleted extenion, deleted from search engines, reset everything I could. But I noticed many references to "mysearchdial" in the about:config section of Firefox.

My browser appears to be working normal, but it seems these references shouldn't be there if I deleted the extention/add on.

Any suggestions? Doesn't seem like you can delete a line in about:config.

You can't delete lines in about:config but you can reset them by right clicking the pref and selecting Reset to the ones you want to reset to the default values.
