Google is my homepage, but when i open Firefox, it starts with Safefinder.com .Even if i deleted it from Control Panel, and did a lot of things to remove it(all the suggestions i got), still nothing. It just don't want to dissapear. How can something that i deleted, remain in my computer? Please help me with this.

Never mind, all I had to do was to reinstall Mozilla.

That was very good work. Well Done.

Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
