I see that you checked the home page setting to see if that was changed. Did you follow the official directions for How to set the home page? Maybe you overlooked something...

If that definitely isn't the problem then let's search around some more.

You have a lot of plug-ins installed! I didn't see anything in there that specifically talks about AOL, so I can't say one of them is the problem, but I do suspect it might be an add-on that AOL installed when you upgraded AIM. So many software packages these days will try to sneak in additional little things when you install. You have to read the install dialogs carefully to make sure it doesn't install anything extra you don't want. Try following the directions for Disable or remove Add-ons and look for any AOL related add-ons. Disable them and see if your problem goes away.

Alternately, you could try using Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to work from a clean slate and then selectively re-enable the stuff that you know you want and use.

Hope this helps. If it doesn't, please reply back with what you saw or tried and someone will do their best to help you further.

- Open AIM - Click Menu, then Settings - Select Sign In / Sign Out - Change "When I sign in, display the following:" to None - Hit Save

I had the same problem and hunted around in Firefox forever before I came upon this.

I didn't sign on to AIM but when I loaded my new machine [XPPro] Mozilla-Firefox was fine showing a Google page when I clicked onto Mozilla.

Then I loaded AOL now when I click on Mozilla I get the AOL page. I DON"T want AOL.

Any suggestions? I use AOL for email only.

I had the same problem.

I had to run a malware program to get my homepage back to normal as nothing else worked. The program deleted cookies but I am not sure which cookies caused the problem.

I do not use any AOL products. So that isn't what led to the hijacking of my homepage.
