Thanks , I tried different ways resetting the home page several times in Options/General/Startup, none of it worked. I solved the problem by uninstalling Firefox 8, cleaning all remnants from the hard disk and the registry and then I re-installed Firefox 8.0.1 That solved my problem but thanks for trying.

If it happens again then try to remove the sessionstore.js file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder.
