Removing MyWebSearch from Firefox
If you have unknowingly installed MyWebSearch Toolbar in Firefox, never look for an anti-spyware to remove it. I spent the whole evening downloading and installing anti-spy and anti-adware products and none of them have removed MyWebSearch toolbar from Firefox. All of the anti-spies are searching for are BHOs in IE. Firefox extensions are not included in their search. In the end I uninstalled them all.
I found the steps in removing MyWebSearch in Firefox over the MozillaZine website. Just close Firefox, go to c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome folder and deleting m3ffxtbr.jar and m3ffxtbr.manifest.
While fixing this Firefox issue, I have also fixed my previous IE issue. After running Hijack This and Crap Cleaner, it now behaves well.
Thanks a million for this tip. Saved me hours of head scratching
