Hello, Iam having the same problem as aulita73.
When I try to log into Mozilla Firefox this /?fr=fp-tyc comes up as my homepage. I reset and it returns, nothing seems to work and It will not reset to my homepage. Any solutions?

I'm having the same problem with FF on Vista. It appears, in my case at least, to be related to the latest release of the Yahoo toolbar. The problem goes away if I deactivate the Yahoo toolbar in FF add-ons/extensions.

For those that might want to try to work around the problem, follow the instructions on locking FF preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences and use
'lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://yourhomepage.com/");'
(without the single quotes at the ends) in the mozilla.cfg file to lock your homepage setting - and obviously replace 'yourhomepage' with whatever you want yours to be.
