how to delete findr

Alright, so about a month ago, I downloaded paint SAI. This was clearly mistake, since now everytime I open up a new tab in firefox, it immediately goes to findr, so now I cannot restore my tabs, or go to anything other that it. I thought that downloading a manual session manager add on and deleting the file would help make it go away. No, every time I go back to one of my previously used tab, a random, blank pop-up shows up. Not only that, but the 'new tabs page', it insted goes to some thing called wisersearch.com. I really have to know, how do I make my browser normal again? I mean, Firefox apparently just updated, and now it's spreading to my google chrome. I need to know, how can I completely delete all trace of whatever is doing this, and how do you get the standard new tab, most visited sites page back?
