    Hi everyone,


    I inadvertently downloaded a browser called 'checkmyspeednow.com onto my computer, and I have no idea how to get rid of it.


    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

    P.S.--Will resetting my desktop to its original settings solve this issue?

  3. Firefox 55 - how to remove every single search engine?

    As far as I know you can't remove all search engines or at least it makes no sense for you because you can fix you problem without removing all search engines.

    How to remove the unwanted search entry in the drop-down menu:

    1. Go to aboutHow to remove an abysmal earch engine??? :preferences#search
    2. Uncheck Provide search suggestions
    3. Under One-Click Search Engines remove the blue tick symbol for every search engine.

    Now it should look like this:

    1. Open about:config
    2. Click on I accept the risk!
    3. Search for keyword
    4. Change the value of keyword.enabled to false by double-clicking on it

    Now it should look like this:

    1. Now your problem should be fixed

    Note: Your Firefox will look a bit different than mine because I use Firefox Nightly.<br>
    Sorry for that.
