How do I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium

I got a message I thought was from Mozilla Firefox saying I have to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.
I went to control panel/programs and Features, found Astromenda, and uninstalled it. I then adjusted my options for my Firefox homepage and got rid of Astromenda on the open of Firefox. However, if I hit the "+" on the tab for a new tab I get a Astromenda search tab. I went to "searchplugins" in the Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced with safesearch.xml. Didn't help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.
I go to the web and found websites on how to get rid of Astromenda but they want me to download various adware cleanup tools but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.
Thank you

The one final step I did not do was the easiest, open Firefox menu, select "Add-ons", click on "Extensions", find "Astromenda", and then click on "Remove."
Problem solved.
PS: I read other blogs that claimed after remove all traces of Astromenda there regular search engine did not act the same... no such problem for me, Google search is acting completely normal.
Thanks everyone for your interest.

hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

How do I get rid of a permanent Firefox Homepage Change Notification?

A Firefox page came up that said well this is embarrassing and then on top of that another small page came up that says Firefox homepage change notification and everytime i click on OK to revert to my previous home page nothing happens and it won't go away and I can't use Firefox because of it so how do I make it go away?

This is on Windows, Mac or Linux?
That notification may be from an add-on, and it probably can't do anything useful until you have dealt with the post-crash session restore page showing your previous session windows and tabs. Can you cancel the notification instead of clicking OK to see whether that works any better?
If not, try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode, which deactivates extensions and probably will bypass that change monitoring feature. Here's where there are some OS differences...
When Firefox is not running, to start Firefox in Safe Mode, hold down the:
* Windows: Shift key
* Mac: option key
while launching Firefox using its shortcut. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Can you get through the session restore screen successfully?
''Linux users can use Terminal to start in Safe Mode.'' See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode

How do I get rid of the orange Firefox thing in my Location Bar? I want the interface to look just like Firefox 16.0.2

I installed Firefox 33 after Tumblr stopped working on 16.0.2, but now everything is jumbled. i tried Classic Themes installer and most things worked great, except for one thing: the orange Firefox thingamabob in the location bar. I can't change it back to the short, unintrusive globe it was in 16.0.2. Here is how it looked then and looks now, for comparison. (Also, the open tabs now have no border and the bars are a different color!)
http://i.imgur.com/aIiwfvc.png
Also, the Awesome Bar doesn't work anymore! Before I could type, say, the letter 'i' and it would show my a bunch of imgur pages. Now it doesn't do anything when I type anything, and won't work when i hit Enter to search. What is going on?

Hello, I have the same... well... "opinion".
The Firefox logo in the address bar is intrusive and takes away a lot of sorely needed horizontal space in it, for no reason but to display the Firefox icon a third time (in the address bar, on the tab, and on the window in my case where it doesn't bother me).
The screenshot the starter of this topic made illustrates perfectly what I mean - it unnecessarily clutters and overcrowds the horizontal space within the address bar. This is especially a problem for people who cannot use high screen resolutions due to being damned to forever keep using old CRT displays since all flatscreens cause excruciating eye pain (a minority no one cares about, I know - still where's the harm in making it optional?).
Does anyone here know of any Add-on that can remove this said clutter in the address bar? I would really appreciate it and be grateful. Or any (other) way to remove it for that matter... make it an option, whichever...
Kind regards

How can I get rid of the "hoax" Firefox window telling me to upgrade?

Every time I open Firefox 3.6.13, I get a window which tells me I'm running an old version and should update. Googling this, I found out it's some kind of hoax. It's really irritating and I'd like to find a way of preventing it from opening. Any ideas?

well, you ARE running an old version, so maybe you should update. Just saying...

How do I get rid of "Welcome to Firefox!" page on startup?????

This is a pain in the neck.

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences then also see:

Satellite A305 running windows vista home premium...Cant get sound out of headphones anymore

for the last 2 months i lost sound in my headphone connection. even when i insert the jack in u can still hear it from the outside.

Have you checked the HP Website and Microsoft Support websites to see if they have any solutions to your problem? Since there could be multiple things causing this, I would check at the places I mentioned first and see if their knowledge base contains an answer.

How can I get rid of the ber at the top of the screen that shows allow it is driving me nuts

At the top of the scren there is a bar acress the top of the screen the has a window that says allow, some time I have to hit the allow button to let a page download, & it is driving me nuts. How do I get rid of it.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.
