Had the same homepage for several years; problem just started a few days ago with no warning. Tried reloading Firefox with no resolution. If I type in the URL for the homepage, it still moves to a new page showing Error 404 and backspace takes me to the homepage, but only with Firefox and only on this computer. Problem does not repeat with either Explorer or Firefox on another computer.

Hi dkeltner, Is it possible to change the homepage then change it back to make sure that the url is still current. Please use How to set the home page for quick reference.

No joy. Again, this only happens with Firefox. And yesterday, it started with another site I visit frequently. Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't cure the problem either.
