  1. Yet another windows 10 issue ASK Hijack?


    Are you using the traditional Search box or the Address bar search?

    There are options in the FF config file (about:config) that allow you to set a search engine for the Address bar.
    Try:

    • Type about:config in the Address bar
    • Acknowledge the warning message
    • Type search in the about:config Search box
    • Look at the results and check for any that mention Ask
    If you see an Ask entry, take a screenshot and post it so that someone can advise you further.

    Here is a screenshot from my Pale Moon about:config page (the FF one should be fairly similar):
