How to get firefox to stop interfering with my computer?
we are tried of the pop up that tells us someone is changing our homepage. When I tried to change it to google I was blocked. When we use firefox it takes us to "ASK" which gives us the weirdest sites, pop ups, & associations. We want a streamline response that we get from google, not the absurd! Please relinquish control of our ability to set our own homepage.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
