since my update of firefox 1 day ago, whenever I open a new page it always opens to the bankofamerica.com website. I am not a customer of theirs and have no intrest in using there site as my homepage. I have tried the old method as well as the new drag and drop method to change the homepage but it will not work.

Try setting your homepage to "blank".

Tools => Options => General => When Firefox Starts "Show a blank page".

Also may be wise to run a malware scan as well.

I had this problem, too. Setting your homepage to "blank" won't do it, because none of your account settings will save when you close your browser. You will need to COMPLETELY uninstall Firefox and reinstall a whole new copy. Save your bookmarks in a word doc so you can get them back later.

I know it's a pain, and maybe someone will eventually figure out a better fix, but this works.
