I tried to update my home page with yahoo through a download with msi explorer ver. 8 and now Mozilla can't bring up a homepage. Did I download something wrong? I' m a novice.
I tried to download the free IE version 9 available with yahoo as my home page(because it's easier for me to use.) It said my computer won't except that version but will take the Micro soft version 8, so I downloaded it that way. Now the home page won't load because it read yahoo.com/http abd Mozilla doesn't recognize this as a proper site.. I deleted the file in my computer but still can't open my home page now.I think Mozilla already updated itself and now I see I need to renew my macafee security as well.

You're right about IE9: it requires Vista or Windows 7. IE8 is the latest IE for Windows XP.
Usually updating IE has no effect on Firefox, so I'm not sure what happened there. I assume you got an official download directly from Microsoft, but if not, perhaps it was customized by someone else? (I don't really trust unofficial versions.)
You should be able to reset your Firefox home page by visiting the full URL http://www.yahoo.com/ and then using the techniques listed in this article: How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help.
Any luck?
