Google as homepage has always been fine. Recently meta-finder.com starts up as my homepage. I've reset Google as homepage several times, but at the next start up of FF, meta-finder is hp again.

Solution for META FINDER as homepage:

go to start and type in ; 70ekaii3.default

enter the folder with either notepad or wordpad and locate the file named ;

user [ the type of file is JScript Script File (.js) ].

The contents determines your homepage. From there delete metafinder.com as homepage and insert your own. Example [ assuming homepage is google ] ;

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/"); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");

This should work.
