how do I stop Igoogle opening instead of www.google in version 5
I have just installed version 5 after using version 3 and 4 without any trouble and when I started; everything was working as it should. I must have unintentionally clicked on something and now every time I open my home page which should be www.google.co.nz it opens at igoogle which I do not need. How do I make it open to my right home page.
Also every page I try to open, it takes a long time to find the page. I am not sure if this is a problem with firefox or a problem with the computer, everything is slow.
Thank you, Allan

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
