Are you using the default Home Page? Or one that you set?

I'm not sure how to answer that. I have been using firefox for several years. I guess it is the default home page. Also, now I am getting a firefox search page whenever I try to start Firefox. I am using Internet Explorer to get to the internet and answer my mail. If I start over, and download Firefox from the beginning, will I lose anything?

I am comfortable now back using Internet explorer.

However, if I decide to go back to the Firefox browser, can I just download Firefox from the start without any problems?

Thank you
