Uninstall The Search Helper Extension In Firefox
Windows users who take a look at the installed extensions in Firefox might notice a Search Helper Extension in the listing that can only be disabled but not uninstalled. It is safe to assume that most Firefox users have no clue how that extension got there, especially since the extension cannot be installed manually in the web browser.
The Search Helper Extension gets added to the Firefox web browser in two ways, well, two ways that we know of, there might be more.
The extension gets installed if the user installs the Windows Update KB 982217, “An update is available that improves the homepage category functionality for Windows Live Toolbar, for MSN Toolbar, and for Bing Barâ€. It will also be installed if the Bing Bar is installed separately or as part of Microsoft's Live Essentials program suite.
