I've tried to set homepage by dragging icon of URL to home button. Also, set it clicking Firefox, Options, Options, Use current page but it when FF4.01 is reloaded Bearshare.com reloads as my home page. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Chosen solution

You might need to unistall the Bearshare media bar. Some past threads on this:

Bearshare is set as my home page and whenever I try and change it, it always goes back to Bearshare. How can I block Bearshare? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help

Bearshare keeps hijacking my home page. It changes my preferences even after I have set them back to "default." | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help

An unistaled program is constantly changing my homepage. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help
