Google/Firefox

for the past god knows how many years i've always used Firefox on both my desktop and my laptops, i came to open up firefox yesterday and got this 'No site configured at this address' instead of my usual Google homepage.

It's not stopping me doing anything on my lappy but it's piggin annoying, i've uninstalled firefox and re-installed it, anyone any ideas as to what i can do to get my google back? i've even tried putting google as my homepage again to no avail, it's looking like i have no homepage at all

Why on Earth do you want Google as your homepage? Your home page should be AccyWeb!

Re: Google/Firefox

Ok you have a little orange box that says firefox?

Click that. Press options then options/advanced/Network/Clear now

Soz about that. ubuntu is still on an older version of FF

Also under General in options make sure in homepage it says www.google.co.uk or .com if you prefer. And there is a choice what happens when firefox starts
