I recently reset my computer because of performance issues. When relaunching FireFox, MSN is now my Home Page. I never selected or used MSN, but its there and I can't get rid of it. I have tried several times via the Settings tab, I have also tired on several occasions to drag a different tab to the Home Page Icon, but MSN just won't go away. I also tried to restore to an earlier version of FireFox, but no success. When working on the Settings tab, there is no "save" option. Is that normal?

Okay. You have firefox for Acer, their preconfigured fork with default homepage. Try to download Firefox directly from the mozilla website.

Can you go to menu -> Help -> About Firefox and paste here the screenshot of the About window?

Thanks very much for the help. I have to comment, that Acer/MSN's approach stinks. That's really frustrating to not be able to change your Home Page.
