when I download, install, and then try to run Mozilla Firefox, I end up with a home page that looks exactly like Internet Explorer. No where on the page can I find Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ten times but I get the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It is not highjack. It is because they use the same home page, google or yahoo or.... the page you see.
