I recently downloaded Firefox on my Mac and now I find that after downloading saafesearch.net appears everytime I open the browser. CAn't get rid of it and I do not find it on the extension, ran the scan (Malwarebytes) and can't figure out where it is located. So I have stopped using Firefox and I am disappointed that supposedly a safe browser is unsafe!!

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ safesearch “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
