homepage not my homepage and cannot be changed
when I open firefox the homepage that comes up is a page that I have never seen and in another language. When I go to tools and try to restore to default the default page will not come up. When I change it manually it will not stay it keeps going back to the same page. How can I get rid of this homepage and reset my original homepage?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
