I have had to reset my homepage to my regular one (msn.com) as Firefox suddenly put 'zone alarm' into my home page (default ) and also the search bar (instead of Google). I have reset the Google in the search bar, and have reset my homepage to www.msn.com - yet, despite this, every single time a new tab is opened low and behold it opens up as the Zone Alarm home page.

I either need to solve this immediately, or Firefox, you're history on my laptop. Utter trash !!!

Do you have ZoneAlarm software installed?

If that is the case then you need to check this in that software or contact ZA for support.

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

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
