Why is ask coming up when I saved mozilla as my web browser
I booted up my laptop and go to mozilla and ask.com comes up. All my pages from the last session are gone and I cannot get mozilla to come up at all unless I search it on ask.. I want to know why this happened and if there was a change on your end I need to know and I will remove the program. I HATE ask and will not use this at all..

That does not make sense. Ask is a search engine, not a browser. I think your problem is with the homepage.
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.
I made sure mozilla was set to the default browser, I right clicked on the mozilla icon and the ask home page came up..
