Please remember whenever next you will open firefox just make sure you make the firefox as the default browser after that you will face this problem.
Do any prefs have a locked status if you check them on the about:config page? You can click the Status column header to sort by Status.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
