It's as above. It's been going on for about 2 weeks and has taken over both IE and FF. It has me paralyzed on FF. I can't access my homepage at all. I finally totally removed FF and reinstalled it again (3.6). I can escape it on IE but I have to do it everytime I access my homepage.

In addition, Lots of things have disappeared from my webpages...most graphics, optin boxes. I see black text and outlines of boxes and that's about all.

I don't know if they're related but I need help!

FF is set as my default browser so I can't figure out how this happened as I've never used Bing!

I'm using windows vista on an HP laptop. TIA, Diane

Try to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.
