I've tried entering safe mode and reseting the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref reverting the search engine settings back to default but when I restart Firefox, I still end up with Yahoo as my Firefox homepage search engine. I hate Yahoo and I really need help getting rid of it, I can't think of anything else...

"set your browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to "ignore" (by hand) and you get to keep your homepage "
