In Firefox I currently have as startpage 123.sogou.com, but I am not able to remove the website as my startpage. Every time I am changing the default page in Firefox back to Google, it automatically turns back to sogou after a restart. Any idea how to remove this?

I also tried the steps from 123.SOGOU.COM - trojan horse in ukui-screensaver, but it has not changed anything.

I have noticed exactly the same problem today. Solutions from this thread, and from the linked one didn't help me. My last installed apps was:

  • arandr
  • gnome-tweak-tool
  • ubuntu-desktop

I am not sure if any of them could trigger this issue.

Working solution for me was:

  • Open Firefox
  • type about:support in address bar and enter the page
  • Click on "Refresh firefox" (or something similar)

After that operation, 123.sogou.com won't opens anymore

I found a file in /usr/lib/firefox which sets the homepage. To find it, I did a simple "grep -Hnri sogou *" hoping that the address would be part of a skript. In my case, it was a file named "ubuntukylin.cfg". Instead of simply deleting this single file, I deleted all packages with "kylin" in their names (I use XFCE4 so this shouldn't matter). This removed the file. Firefox calls now the correct homepage.
