Firefox was hanging up and running slow so I did a refresh. Now I can't get the Firefox start page to reset as the home page, instead an AOL home page opens. I have tried to reset default but it is only the aol for firefox URL that appears. Then I check the target in the shortcut, it only says Firefox.exe. I can't even find the start page so I could use the Set as current page option. Please help.

You can check the home page setting

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
