After uninstalling HandyCafe software, it's start-up page http://search.handycafe.com/ still remains active in Firefox.
No matter what you change your start-up page to, next run of Firefox changes back to http://search.handycafe.com/
No related software found in Control Panel - Programs
No related plug-ins are installed in Firefox.
No related executables are found in Windows start-up
How do I remove it? =)

Since the first answer wasn't what you were looking for, I did a simple Internet search which found this on the Mozilla Support Forum.

This appears to be a well know issue on several sites. Here is a page with some fairly detailed instructions how to remove the software and the browser redirecting vulnerability.

Yes, I checked this one already. No valuable information there. Remove, Repair, Uninstall. Steps which any user will perform by default. And it's NOT a virus. =))) – Alex G – 2012-10-02T11:35:55.467
You might want to state that information in your question. There is not way any of us can know what you've done unless you tell us. – CharlieRB – 2012-10-02T11:38:47.607
In my question I already specified placed I went through, same places are posted in your link. You did very basic Googling and posted first matching link here. Lousy job + unreasonable criticism. – Alex G – 2012-10-02T11:50:06.173
Thanks. user.js in profile directory of firefox was overriding homepage settings. Much better job... =))) – Alex G – 2012-10-02T11:54:00.083
