My homepage settings are taken over by another app?
Everytime I open up Firefox, instead of opening my homepage it keeps opening this website called "http://www.%snf%.com/". I have no idea what it is or how this happened, but I am sure some app is doing this and I don't know what app to uninstall. Anybody else have this problem before?

You can find the home page setting here:
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and search for prefs that refer to %snf%.com. You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
