Also in the Fx searchplugins folder located in the Profile Folder you can delete the Ask.com search plugin. Edit* You should have a backup or two of your bookmarks in your Profile Folder bookmarksbackup folder. Use the Bookmark Manager to restore one of those backups dated before this happened. -- "Facts not FUD!"

Have not heard of a theme doing this before although I believe Ask.com is included in Fx full install updates. Areofox is a 5 star theme and there is no mention of additional junk included. I have to wonder if the OP installed some software that put their junk in Fx by clicking through an install. -- "Facts not FUD!"

This is very odd, I installed the upgrade the same way as the OP and had none of this happen. If it was across the board, I'm sure there would be a lot of people here complaining about it. I too wonder about other installed software or maybe some hijacking? -- You can chain my body to the earth, but still my spirit flies! 13,525 DEADLY TERROR ATTACKS SINCE 9/11
