Latese update replace personal Home Page with Yahoo. I don't want it.
Since the latest Mozilla Firefox update (a couple days ago, I believe), whenever I open Firefox, I get a Yahoo search page that I do not want. If I go to settings and replace the Home Page URL with my desired web page, I am okay during that session. If I leave my computer and come back later and open Firefox, there is that Yahoo search page again.
How can I get rid of it for good?
thanks, len

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
After the problem is fixed, Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.
