Firefox no longer lets me set the home page. It's stuck on Bing.
When I click on My Yahoo in the toolbar, it has a dropdown that says "set My Yahoo as your home page". It doesn't work anymore. I'm using Firefox 7, but it didn't work in Firefox 6 either. It keeps reverting to a search box for Bing. Should I just delete Bing? If so, how do I do that? Operating system is XP.
Thank you, Walker Butler
