(1) To reset your homepage, hit ALT then T then O. It will open open the options box. There's an option to change your homepage there. (2) Comcast also probably changed your search provider. To get Google back, Type about:config into the url bar. In the search box type: "keyword.url" without quotes. Right click the keyword.url entry and select "modify" Enter the default google search url in the modify box: “http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= Click OK
