I got rid of it... the culprit was something called "Search Settings 1.2.3". And I'm not sure where and when I picked THAT up... but going to control panel and add/remove programs, and removing "Search settings 1.2.3" has made the mybrowserbar hijack go away.

How do I remove this default search provider in Firefox!?

使用網址列輸入中文收尋的時候，出現的是百度網

小無：Firefox 網址列被綁架成百度，移除Plug-in:Search Settings 1.2.3，就OK。
