My homepage is somehow Bank of America's site and when I reset it and close and re-open Firefox it's back to BoA.
I have no idea how BoA got set as my homepage, but now I can't get rid of it. I've tried starting in Firefox safe mode and resetting the preferences to default only to have it open with BoA as the homepage anyways. And yes, I have tried setting what I want (Google) as my homepage, with the same results. I even (finally) updated to the most recent version of Firefox and retried everything, to no avail. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this. I don't even use Bank of America!

Try clearing your cache and deleting all your cookies then set your home page to the desired URL. Try in different orders (set home page -> clear cache & cookies) if it doesn't work at first.
I had this problem too. I had to completely uninstall Firefox - not just reset my settings, but uninstall EVERYTHING and download a totally clean version. Nothing else worked. It's a pain, and I hope someone can come up with a better solution, but at least it fixed it.
I also had the same issue with IE9, but IE is so hard to completely uninstall that I haven't been able to fix it; after uninstalling and deleting everything, then downloading IE8 instead, it still persists. Oh, well - Internet Explorer sucks anyway.
