I searched and SEARCHED for months through and through all over the web on solutions to get rid of of that annoying Fast Browser Search to no avail. Ive tried all the other suggested fixes from all the other forums and it only got rid of the Tool Bar. I also tried removing it from my Add On and Extensions yet it was still there lurking in the shadows. I will never install anything else from Facebook ever again. I finally found the correct way to remove it permanently from Firefox. Its quite simple. First, type "about:config" in URL address bar. A big warning window will appear advising you to be careful. Ignore the warning and click on the "I'll be careful, I promise" button. Then type "fast" in the location or filter window. Right click or control/click on the configurations that appear to be Fast Browser Search and click RESET. This should reset Google back to your default browser.

A big warning window will appear advising you to be careful.

Ignore the warning and click on the “I’ll be careful, I promise” button.
Then type “fast” in the location or filter window.

Right click or control/click on the configurations that appear to be Fast Browser Search and click RESET.

This should reset Google back to your default browser.
