Regarding your home page, what do you get instead of Google? This can provide a clue about what is changing your setting.


Toolbars typically are generated by an extension, which is a type of add-on you can disable or remove (usually) here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
