New computer. I downloaded the latest Morzilla Firefox browser software. When I clicked on the icon an aol page was there with all kinds of junk...not the morzella-google page. No morzilla toolbar, no bookmark capability. Just aol ads.

I am already an aol member so I just want a better browser.

Where did you download Firefox from?
If you get it from an official Mozilla download mirror you won't get "extras" like AOL, Yahoo, or Bing garbage.

I did download it from the official website. That is what is driving me nuts! I've installed and uninstalled three times. And still all those aol nonsense.
