I have a "new" computer and downloaded firefox. Before I could get all my bookmarks and get a real homepage of my choice, "Alot" took over without my permission, made itself the start page and changed the toolbars to suit itself. It removed the "worded" tool bar (the one with file, view, tools, bookmarks, etc. in print) I want it back! how do I get it back?
