Hi isis712, from Firefox button(orenge button) > Add-ons > Extensions, if it's there, uninstall it.

than use SearchReset add-on (the add-on it is not permanent, uninstalls itself after resets your search preferences and home page to their default values)


thank you

I installed Adobe flash player and now AOL has Hijacked my Mozilla Firefox browser. When I click anywhere on the page, it just "dings". It wants me to check the box to change my home page, but I will not do that.
