Your Firefox got hijacked, that's it.
You need to refresh Firefox to its default settings, according to these directions below.
Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
- Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
- Click the menu button , click help and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
- If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
- At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
- Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
- Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Mattcamp Thank you for your help. I now have Firefox back and no Google. I'm not giving "The Man" that is Google, access to my browsing. Although I've lost a few of my add on's it's easy to get them back on the main Firefox page (I've already done one).
Here's to more Firefox browsing!
Great news!
I'm glad I could help, that's what I'm here for.
