Google was my homepage. Now I want out of the new, awful google, but it won't let me get to Firefox to change my homepage to something else. I've tried Firefox in safe mode, but couldn't get to a way to change my homepage.

"How to set the home page" didn't work because Google had subsumed all the Firefox icons and substituted them with Google icons. There was no way to get to the Firefox home page and the options.

However, I did finally find a way to get to Firefox, and I did change the home page, and I'll NEVER make Google my home page again.

Thanks for the effort.
