It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
- At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
- In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
- Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
- Click the remove button.
- Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the Search Reset Tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
If that doesnt work download ADWCleaner and remove any detected items.
For further information, please read Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.

You can try to delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.
