How can I stop yahoo as my default home page?

Over the weekend, Yahoo has somehow my default homepage. When I go to preferences and change to my desired home page, it only works for the next launch - then it returns to Yahoo. So I uninstalled Firefox and download a new copy. Same thing, so, apparently, it's a moderation that you have made to your browser.

I don't like this. If you don't tell me how definitively remove Yahoo as my default page and let me decide DEFINITIVELY what's my default homepage, I will stop using Firefox anyway, even if so far it my browser favorite.

I'm on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8

It is a side effect of the extension of SearchMe, which apparently comes with a popular torrent software.

You can disable this extension then restart Firefox and choose your homepage favorite again. You can do it here:

Tools menu > Modules > in the left column, click on Extensions

It would also be possible to follow this extension on your computer and remove it physically, but as a Windows user, I don't know the ins and outs of how to do this on a Mac.
