I need to stop Google from overriding Firefox Home default!
I have Firefox Home set as my default in Options. Firefox Home appears at start up. After the first search, Firefox Home is displaced by Google every time. I have deleted Chrome but Google still appears. How can I prevent Google from taking over my browser?

Hi bruce4150,
Under Options you can switch Firefox Home to open in new tabs.
To do this :
- Click the menu icon in your Firefox web browser
- Click Options
- On the left Panel click Home
- Under New Windows and click New tabs
- Choose Firefox Home(Default)

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine, securedsearch
Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
