Whenever I log on to firefox, instead I get my.com web site, what is this??
Is my.com part of the mozilla family or am I being scammed?

Hi
I recommend you have a read of this question that has more information and guidance.
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.
Have you played/install any game from there site or there partner sites ? Most of the time when you are installing a game or a software it may be possible that home page is hijacked by there own search box. If you tried what "FredMcD" said and nothing changed then perform a full scan of your system from any of these malware scanner :
As a guess it may be possible that you have played these games on Android/iPhone devices with your login credential and due to sync it comes to your pc.
