Gosh that was a real maze of info! Lets try this gain , I have windows 7 I use FF as my main Browser and have always been able to maintain it myself, I'm not a beginner and would just like info only to this new latest upgrade to 3.6 version , this only started when I did that . Can you just be specific to this version 3.6.12 ?
You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder isn't corrupted.
