Ask.com Toolbar messes FireFox!

Bugged Fox!

In case you are an avid Firefox user, it highly recommended that you be cautious when you install Ask.com toolbar. Once installed, Ask.com toolbar messes with Firefox settings and adds the below given string to whatever address (URL) you type. Hence, you are not able to open any webpage and you keep getting the same error message everytime you enter an address (URL).

Firefox can’t find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.properties

Quick Solution:

1. Uninstall the toolbar from Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs
2. Go to FireFox install Directory (likely,  C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/Components)
3. Delete AskToolbar.js
4. Restart FireFox and you are done!

And no, this error doesn’t have anything to do with Google Chrome Browser!

Happy Browsing! :)
