A site called Babylon took over my home page among other things last week. Your advice via email to get Firefox from someone else who has it wasn't feasible. Neither was Riva uninstaller which you recommended. This appears to be an attack on Firefox and although I got rid of most of Babylon, it still dominates my home page. I love Firefox but this is bad news. I need it fixed.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry, the person replying to your previous question ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/910349?s=&r=1&e=sph&as=s ) is a new poster here and did not offer the best advice.


  1. Remove Babylon from your system:
  2. Reset your home page (if the Babylon search page is displayed when starting Firefox): http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    • You can reset to the default by clicking "Restore to default" on Options > General > Startup > Home page. Be sure to set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page" on that same panel.
  3. Reset your Location Bar search engine (if typing a few words in the URL/Location Bar takes you to Babylon search):
  4. If Babylon is shown in your Search Bar and you want to remove it:
