home page keeps changing by itself, why?
Can you tell me why the homepage keeps changing to something other than I ask for? I even uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing keeps happening. Running latest firefox on xp machine. This URL keeps taking over: http://home.speedbit.com/?aff=205 contact me at gmsdental at gmail dot com Thanks

Please do the following.
- In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type about:config and hit Enter.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL
- Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.
- Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
To reset your home page, do the following.
- Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
- Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General.
- Make sure it says "Show My Homepage" in the first dropdown menu.
- Click the button called "Use Current Pages" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
