Do you mean you are running the Google browser, or has the Firefox browser changed to the Google homepage?
Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage
What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home
also, my history and bookmarks are gone
The browser may have been reset.
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?
