I have been unsuccessful uninstalling mywebsearch. Mozilla Firefox shortcut key takes me to mywebsearch. mywebsearch was apparently installed on 5/23/2010 when i thought i was accessing a cool screensaver website. I WANT MY FIREFOX BACK! Today's response from Bugzilla is "Mywebsearch is malware, and is most easily removed by running malwarebytes anti-malware. Not a firefox issue though. support.mozilla.com can possibly help." PLEASE HELP

Hello Anon and Goran,
This is Jason with Mindspark Interactive Network Customer Support.
We would like to assure you that contrary to what you may have read or heard, My Web Search® and its related suite of products is not and has never been malware, spyware, or adware. In fact, the My Web Search toolbar has been tested by top security software companies and has repeatedly been shown to be free of any threats.
The toolbar can be removed using the standard Add/Remove functionality of your Windows operating system.
For step by step instructions, please visit: http://www.mindspark.com/main/toolbar-info/remove-mws/removemwsinst/index.shtml
Important: It is not advisable to manually delete any files or registry entries, or to use 3rd party software which may leave artifacts behind.
Please note that you will continue to see the My Web Search toolbar until you close and reopen all instances of your Web browser. A reboot will be required to complete the removal process.
To reset your homepage back to your desired choice, use the following instructions that correspond to your browser of choice:
FOR INTERNET EXPLORER 7 AND ABOVE: 1. Navigate to the webpage you would like to set as the home page. 2. Click the arrow to the right of the "Home button" and then click "Add or Change Home Page". 3. In the "Add or Change Home Page" dialog box, do one of the following: • To make the current webpage your only home page, click "Use this Webpage" as your only home page. • To start a home page tab set or to add the current webpage to your set of home page tabs, click "Add this Webpage" to your home page tabs. • To replace your existing home page or home page tab set with the webpages you currently have open, click Use the current tab set as your home page. This option will only be available if you have more than one tab open in Internet Explorer. 4. Click Yes to save your changes.
FOR MOZILLA FIREFOX USERS: 1. Navigate to the page you want set as your home page. 2. At the top of the Firefox window on the menu bar, click on "Tools" and select "Options". 3. If it isn't already selected, click the "Main" icon. The "Main" options panel is displayed. 4. Click on "Use Current Page". • If you have a group of tabs open, the entire group of tabs will be set as your home page. • You can also use the "Use Bookmark" button to set one of your bookmarks as your home page. 5. Click OK to close the "Options" window.
We hope this helps, and that in the future, you will take a second look at the My Web Search toolbar.
