My normal Firefox opening page has disappeared. I is a page with about 12 webpages in small windows which are links to my frequently used sites. Some of them are Wordpress Administrative pages and I need them to access my websites. How do I get this page back?

Another change is the persistent presence of Ask.com on every search window. Where did that come from? I don'[t want or use Ask.com. Is this something that Mozilla added in? If so, it is a bad idea. I use Google for search and want my familiar Firefox opening page back on opening of Firefox.

Thank you for help. Susan

Sounds like you picked up a homepage changer piece of Malware.

Thank You! I went to the link you sent and reset Firefox. Yippee, that is exactly correct. I believe it happened when I used the Chrome Browser one time. Won't be doing that again.
