I have been using Firefox as my preferred browser for some time now. Very recently, I have been having a couple of problems with the browser. (1) It has become extremely slow and the (not responding) notice seems to appear regularly. It has become very frustrating. I have since tried IE without the same problem. (2) I keep getting notices that something is causing my homepage to be changed. Each and every time I block the move but it is frustrating. In addition to this happening with Firefox, it has also happened since starting to use IE only a very short time ago.

If you have any suggestions how to get my Firefox back up to speed and stop these attempts to have my homepage changed it would be greatly appreciated.

That might be a sign of malware infection. Please make a post in the Malware forum following these instructions:
