When I open FF the home pages appear (for instance) in the address bar as:http://192.168.1.254/ez.ezs?ez_url=www.telegraph.co.uk/&ez_ip=http://192.168.1.254/ instead of http://www.telegraph.co.uk. Deleting the "scrambled" URL and retyping the correct one only results in the same error. 192.168.1.254 is of course my router address. Any help much appreciated.

I think that this is a saved preference that may have been auto detected from Firefox. Do you have a host file or pac file that is still on your computer after changing the network connection? If not, clear the cache and cookies How to clear the Firefox cache, change your homepage back and change the Advanced network settings to "No Proxy" Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox
