Sounds like you may have inadvertantly or otherwise installed something that is affecting firefox. It may help if you attach a screenshot of the message with your next post.

Here's a few other thoughts about that issue:

  1. Firefox doesn't detect and block attempts to change the Homepage setting as Firefox is launched. You probably have a security program installed that is giving you that message.
  2. Only malicious applications would try to change a user setting, so nothing should even be messing with your choice for the Homepage setting in Firefox Options > General.
