Re: FF3.5 hijack issue with search and bookmarks toolbar
OK..I was able to reset the default search engine and remove ask.com. Thanks....I had forgotten about that dropdown option.
And with book marks manager, I restored a previous bookmarks backup from several days ago. But the two bookmarks still reappear each time I restart FireFox.
I don't remember clicking past any extra installation questions in my install wizard. I"m usually pretty careful about that stuff.
[Edit: OK....I found it. Both the Ask.com and the Virtus bookmark had been installed as an extension somehow.

I uninstalled them there and that seems to have take care of it. I still think something was piggybacked onto the Aerofox theme install since it is from Virtus Designs. I definitely did not choose to install that or the Ringtones site.] |

| Contact the developer of the theme and let him know what happened. It is possible someone messed with the theme or he/she added something with it but did not let anyone know which would be a violation of the Addons Site.
Themes are tested before release and then the tester emails the developer(s) and lets them know if they are good to go or not. I would be surprised if a tester missed a theme adding unwanted items.
I still think a 3rd party program you or someone else installed on your computer or an update (not Fx) added those entries without your knowledge seeing how you said you did not click through anything.
