Babylon has become my default search engine and I cannot change it back to Google (what is the difference between a search engine and a browser?

Hello,

A browser is the program you are using for browsing the internet. Examples of browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Search engine are the website or add-ons to a web browser that you use to search the internet. Examples of search engines are Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Please indicate the browser you are using so I can instruct you how to change back your search engine to Google.

I installed babylon windows internet explorer and it substitute google windows internet explorer and I want to get it back as homepage please tell me how

Hi. This is fairly simple to fix.
First open firefox, from the way you describe it , then it opens to google.
thats ok.
Now go to the babylon website.
Next, click you tools tab, and then select options.
On the tab that says general is the place to make changes to your home page.
Right click on your address bar where you have babylon web address, and click copy, or copy link location, whichever it offers
Next delete the google address in the home page block, and paste the babylon one into it.
Then click ok.
Close your browser, wait about 15 seconds, this allows the system to recognize the changes, and then open firefox again.
Now you should have babylon as your home page instead of google.
