1. Firefox ->Add-ons -> remove any "toolbar" extension.

2. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features -> uninstall Yahoo toolbar.

3. go to Options -> Options -> Home page: http://www.google.com/ -> click OK

good luck

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
