My husband installed firefox on his computer, like I have done on my laptop (my son and daughter also), but on my husband's computer, the home page looks different than mine. I have the globe on mine with the search engine in the middle. My husband has some Tviza or something like that show up on his, and when he puts in say weather.com to open when he opens his browser, it never shows up. I am not sure what went wrong. His computer is a desk top from Dell. All of our laptops are Dell also. Thank you! Kelly

Something may have change the home page. Possible an installer or adware. If you think or want to check, Troubleshoot Firefox Issues Caused By Malware {web link}

Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.
