Every time I bring up Firefox it comes up to powered by ASK screen, how do I get rid of it?
I don't remember doing anything different on my computer today, but every time I open Firefox I get this Ask screen not my default screen that should be there. I am suppose to have www.comcast.net as my defaulted screen.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Sometimes the problem is an addon:
Or Mlawares:
After try restore your home page:
oracle has the despicable behaviour of bundling the ask toolbar together with its critical security updates for the java plugin by default - many users aren't careful enough or even expecting such a nuisance during an update routine. so that might be the path how this toolbar came onto your machine...
