I intended to download google maps. I think I allowed something else. When I search for a place I get a real estate listing. The one I want is not for sale. I can no longer find it on yelp. The Firefox start page no longer comes up. How do I get it so I can click on the gear and delete it.

However, you can manage search engines in your Firefox profile from this menu: Add or remove a search engine in Firefox

In to restore Firefox's start page to the default one you can take these steps:
