Every time I load FireFox I am taken to Qword as my search engine. I have never loaded this and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I've deleted all reference to this and to Versalsoft from programs and my registry, but still it happens.

I have done all of this, with no result. Qword still comes up as my search engine each time I bring of Firefox. I have searched through program files and my register and deleted every instance of Qword or Veralsoft from my computer. My problem I managed to eliminate it from IE, but I don't know how to specify my home page in Firefox. This is the basic problem: How do I instruct Firefox that I want Google to be my home page?
