How do I get it out?

[Mobley3]

It sounds like some program has changed your homepage, have you installed any new programs recently? if not looks like you may have a Virus/Spamware problem.
You need to look in the Tools section in Firefox, probably at the top of the page look for something like Internet Options, and delete the page there, then reset to your normal homepage

Looking at the script, Maxtor is a Harddrive maker, did you install a new HD?

sounds like you have been on a high risk site and it has altered your firefox home page to their site and it is now your home page, and like Moberly says you need to alter it back to your normal home page in internet tool settings.

Although I have followed your advice, I could not solve the problem, I think at this point I do not remain merely reinstall firefox working with uninstaller.
How do I save all bookmakers, so you can use them in the new installation?

You may need to run a virus scan to get rid of the malware that has changed your homepage. Then you should be able to reset your homepage using the Firefox settings.

Scanning for viruses in order to eliminate the malaware which changed my homepage is without question essential, but it is equally necessary to uninstall Firefox. My problem is having the ability to save all my bookmarks from firefox version and then reinstall them infected in the new version.

I really can't understand...why was it impossible to change your homepage? :confused:
Option/General
You can put as homepage: _http://www.google.it/firefox

Hello

Make a backup of your bookmarks and then uninstall the firefox.
Scan with a good antivirus, make a restart and then reinstall firefox.

Set as homepage the website you want.
Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the home button, and release.

Also you can do it from the tools>options>General panel.

Save all the hassle and just do a system recovery for the day before it went tits up.
All problems are solved this way anything downloaded after this time recovery, will be removed.

If you have trouble getting into system recovery because of the download boot up in safe mode.
and stay of the dodgey hex sites

With browser hijackers it is usually a case of running a malware scan not a virus program, these will get rid of PUP's ( potentially unwanted programs) There are several good malware removal programs, most of which can be found for free, however some sites can put unwanted programs on a PC so take great care before you click on the download button, and even chech the provider on Google first.

And the worst culprits for putting crap on your computer are the free malware and antivirus software use these at your own risk.
