I appears to be geniune, but it also reset my default start page without
my permission. If for no other reason, that was sufficient for me to
uninstall it without exploring it any further.

Len, it doesn't reset your start page. Sometimes, following
installation, Firefox opens up on the toolbar webpage the first time
it's opened after the toolbar is installed (might have something to do
with completing toolbar installation). Subsequent opening of Firefox
will open on your default home page.

I certainly haven't had my homepage altered by intstalling the toolbar
during testing (and I changed homepage a couple of times to verify no
reset was occurring). If you're willing to try the toolbar again, and
you find that your homepage is being reset, let me know what page it's
pointing to.
