I posted a response but I don't know what happened to it. I guess the dot tech gremlins ate it OR I posted in the wrong place. Confused

Anyway, I said that the above did not work and I did some looking around on the web and it appears that there are others having "toolbar" removal issues also and they did the same thing that you suggested.

I was just wondering if I did a permanent delete with my files tool program would that do any harm as far as FF was concerned?

I do not understand how a SW maker could allow TP addons that cannon be removed. Frown

I am really thinking of getting another browser. But who knows, may have another issue with any of them.

Karen fixed the page issue.   The Opera issue is with two-finger scrolling only maybe?

@Ebony: 

Try going to Tools>Addons and seeing if you can find and uninstall any ICQ addons.  If they're there and you can't uninstall them, or if they aren't there, go to Remove Programs (or Add and Remove Programs) and see if there are any references to ICQ there. 

What you have is an ICQ addon.

I have no problem with the scrolling.  Maybe you just had a bad experience, and need to try again.

 

Also, the page is screwed up Cry

I sure hope I got this right. If not, just delete it and I will try again.

I just want to get rid of any reference to icq off my computer.

 

I have gadwin and the vista snipping tool to capture the info.

But if you want to stick with Firefox, you should upgrade to the 4.0 beta.

This is very weird. Unless I'm misunderstanding ur post… Did u ever install ICQ or had any ICQ related apps on ur pc?

I can't see any other way it would end up being a part of FF (unless you had the toolbar for FF). My about:config returned nothing concerning ICQ.

I did a search and low and behold it came up under an icq search bar soooo I did a search and found out that ICQ search is a part of FF. I hate Icq so I do not have it anywhere on my computer. It is much too invasive and controlling.

 

Sooo I go to about:config but I confirmed there are a number icq entries.

Not sure what to do, I left it alone.

What is the best way to remove this junk from my computer without causing probs to FF or should I just uninstall and go back to an older version?FrownConfused

Bit late to the party - I run LE and am on FF 3.6.8 - havent really noticed any slow down.

I hesitate to say Link Extend is the culprit because it's a Helpful and Powerful addon that I started using a lot.  I'm hoping it just conflicts with another addon that I can afford to lose.  Haven't had the time to do a pairwise test with all my addons yet...  (Link Extend gives you figertip access to security ratings for sites, very flexible web search options, many other features).

So, for any of you seeing the slowdown, are you using Link Extend?

Does disabling Link Extend help?

Is anyone using Link Extend with NO slowdowns?
