Hi, every time I open Mozilla it always give me two startup tabs with "NOT FOUND WEBLOG.COM" and "404 PAGE NOT FOUND". The startup page I set it up to is yahoo.com. I've check to make sure its under "Show my home page" and it is. Please help. THANKS

Have you tried reinstalling mozilla firefox?

Sounds like some kind of spyware that is hijacking your browser.

Open windows explorer and go to tools => folder options => view. Untick "hide protected operating system files" and "hide extensions for known file types". Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ and edit the hosts file with notepad. Check that there's only the 127.0.0.1 localhost line. If there's anything else (besides the comments starting with #) then please report here.

You could try to uninstall/reinstall the latest version of firefox.

You could also scan your computer for malwares/hijack attempts :
