Yourforth has messed up my mouse, but not changed my homepage. How do I uninstall it if it doesn't show up in extensions?
Note, there isn't an uninstall under Yourforth in Applications folder, only a text that says how to delete it with the uninstall app under Yourforth in Applications.
So, those directions didn't work after a restart?
There is nothing to do because the uninstall app is not there. Only the directions to select and use something that is not there.
