When I logged on today, I realized that my Firefox homepage was not displayed. Only three Firefox webpages were displayed.

Furthermore, when I did open a new page, it was not my homepage. All of my homepage icons have been replaced with many others; Reddit, Wikipedia and such. None of mine were displayed.

When I opened GMail, my Inbox font size had been changed.

Does this mean that I have been hacked?

Hi

I do not think you have been hacked, but I do think that this support article should help:

This article may help. It may not since you are getting links to several websites.

Otherwise, these may help.
