My default page starts up with a page (http://www.hao123.com/?tn=97473572_hao_pg) which I don't want. Tried "Restore to Default", "Reset Firefox" and even re-installing Firefox didn't help. I'm still getting that page. I've searched for the registry entries but couldn't find anything. Please help. Really appreciated if you can help. I just want the Firefox default page only....

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
