Installed Starburn yesterday to try out. Noticed that Rocket Division hijacked my browser homepage. Not cool!

Result: starburn uninstalled.

We do kindly ask your permission to change search provider to the RDS durinng installation process (and you can always change it back to whateve you want any time in any case). This thing is fully OPTIONAL and CONTROLLLABLE. By you. If you don't bother yourself to read the whole EULA thing and just check the boxes during setup randomly and hitting "OK" every time we do consider this as being YOUR own problem rather then OUR problem.

P.S. If you do take to the mouth everything you find around you'll wake up DEAD one day. And don't blame anybody in this. Just start reading the stickers on the bottles.

I run Firefox.
Yes I have changed browser settings.......plus downloaded both the "so called" fixed 9.5 version and the new "bug fixed" version 10. and again changed browser settings. Finally I have now uninstalled your program and I STILL have the homepage problem. Now what do I do.

It's very strange, because this bug was fixed several version ago!

Please try to do next:

Delete file user.js from path
"[System drive]:\Documents and Settings\[Your UserName]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[SomeChars].default\user.js"

Path Example:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5kgurte6.default\user.js"

Besides, I've already un-installed StarBurn........now how do I get rid of the homepage problem? It shouldn't still be there if the program is gone

Some chars it's random set of chars and digits, for example "5kgurte6".

You also can find "user.js" file in folder "Documents and Settings" with using windows search, and then delete "user.js" file.

1) If you'll not follow technicians you'll not get everything fixed.

2) Yes. Unless it's a combination of FF and StarBurn bugs making FF scripts modified.
