I installed Ashampoo Snap 4 (screen capture) and it imposed ashempoo on Firefox. This seems to have occurred with an unexpected upgrade. I tried returning my homepage via isntructions. It does not work.

If you do not want any changes to be applied to your system, you are advised to select the Custom installation.

You may need to uninstall the application with Firefox closed, then restart Firefox:

  1. Reset your Firefox home page --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
