    If your homepage is correct in the Options dialog box, but by clicking on the icon of the House or by opening a new window (Ctrl + n) charge the wrong page, or charge two tabs (a right, an evil)?

    I know that you have verified that many of these things before, but if you wouldn't mind taking a second look:

    (1) starts by the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) then, in Firefox, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    If the problem only occurs with the shortcut on the desktop, are looking for a hijacked 'target' using the side Windows desktop. Right-click on the icon, choose Properties and then the shortcut tab. If you've pinned to the taskbar, the icon of Firefox there is an extra click: right-click on the icon and then click Mozilla Firefox. Then you can get real estate.

    The 'target' for Windows 7 32 bit should be either not less the following:

    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    Edit: Sorry, I forgot to edit after pasting...

    The 'target' for Windows 64 - bit 8.x must be not more not less the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    If there are extra things on the line after that, it empty.

    Any progress?
