I have set my home page to eurosport, but every time I open the FireFox, it opens go.webalta.ru. I have already tried to restart the FF using "Troubleshooting" option. I have scanned and deleted what was found.But some of them coming back.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and search for prefs that refer to webalta.ru. You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
