Every time I click on the mozilla icon the next view on my desk top is Yahoo. I don't want to use Yahoo. I tried to download a user manual for mozilla and that didn't work either. Mozilla is becoming a frustrating joke.

Youare talking your Home Page?

Try start in safe mode, sometimes addons change your home page:

Try also scan your PC:

Then reset your home page:

Or try go to about:config search for this option browser.startup.homepage change its value to :

about:home default page

about:blank a blank page

URL a url of a site that you want

Try give us more information:

You can also check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
