Bearshare was downloaded to our home computer. Now it has taken over my Firefox homepage and I can't get rid of it. I have tried changing the homepage via Tools, Options. Didnt work. Deleted the Bearshare app and cookies and web history. Still didnt work.

Tried resetting default setting via Firefox Safemode. Didnt work. Any suggestions.? My situation is 2 home computers (Windows XP) sharing 1 modem, but have their own apps. Mozilla on the other computer is fine. Just this one which Bearshare was downloaded to. It took over the Homepage in IE too, but I was able to change it using Internet Options. The message which comes up when I try to change the Homepage is "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" Tks

You only get an alert stating "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" if you have security software or an extension that is protecting against such a change. Firefox doesn't do that by itself. If starting in Safe mode didn't help then that only leaves security software, so you need to look to see how you can allow a home page change.
