I have a problem with fire fox changing my home page every time I shut my pc down and start it up. my home page is reset to yahoo. I know yahoo is not supported by firefox so I keep changing it to a forum that I use. but every time I log on to my pc the home page has been switched back (to myyahoo)and I get the message that yahoo is in violation of the terms blah blah blah. I don't want yahoo as my home page. Also I always have to log in everywhere I go even after I have checked the " keep me logged in box. never fails I always have to type everything back in. are these win7 problems because none of this was happening on my vista laptop?

Yahoo is supported by Firefox, it functions and displays correctly.

"that yahoo is in violation of the terms blah blah blah" -- could you please paste the full text here?

Does the homepage save if you just restart Firefox itself, not the whole system?

See How to fix preferences that won't save.
