Hi List ken here am baffled by this one.  the answer I got didn’t help much and it doesn’t seem like an option.  I have just reinstalled firefox and this time I have doublechecked the programs on my machine to make sure AOL is gone accept for AOL desktop and just like before AOL is my default webpage on firefox I can’t even bring up an options menue to change it nothing happens when I hit the alt key or alt plus o.  AOL is only defaulted on firefox not chrome or IE I have successfully undone that on both by in chromes case uninstalling and reinstalling a clean copy but for some reason AOL is still default on a clean firefox installation.  the clutter hides downloads history, bookmarks restore session buttons.  have scanned firefox with security essentials to insure that it’s not some kind of malware that is pretending to be aol and it came up clean.  so why is AOL defaulted only on firefox and is there another way to change firefox back to the regular start page without having someone completely take a whole day cleaning out the registry which I don’t have available anyway.  I don’t know anyone with that skill.  this is only firefox.  that is what is strange.  so that rules out malware.
