    I only have a little experience with hijack this but was unaware of that functionality. I tried simply uninstalling the ask toolbar but that didn’t correct my firefox settings.

    Yeah I tried Chrome. It’s a lot quicker than IE and about the same speed as FF. I’ve habituated using FF and I haven’t found any great convenience to using Chrome, so usually I just use FF. I found it useful when I want to sign into 2 accounts on the same website though. To do that I used to use IE which is RIDICULOUSLY slow in Vista. Seems like it was quicker under windows 95. Leave it to little squishy (micro soft) to regress a software platform.
