When I connected to the internet after some Microsoft updates had been installed, I found I no longer had Mozilla as a homepage. If I wanted "Yahoo" as a home page i would have clicked on the spot that says to make it my homepage. I am using Mozilla 23.0. So how do I get the homepage that I want on my computer again??

hello JohnDevilone, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under firefox/tools > addons > extensions or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.

in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
