Even though I keep changing the Home Page option to www.yahoo.com, Firefox keeps taking me to http://www.searchqu.com/406 when I start it. PLEASE! Help me get rid of this worthless searchqu.com, I have absolutely no use for it.

When I start Firefox, it takes me to the following website:

http://www.searchqu.com/406

I've gone to Tools -> Options several times and changed the Home Page to http://www.yahoo.com , but this change just won't take effect and the next time I start Firefox, it's as though I did nothing and it takes me again to http://www.searchqu.com/406. Please help me get rid of this worthless searchqu.com once and for all.

In trying to follow some instructions about removing this, (removing a profile that did not appear to be mine), I now have the problem that Firefox will not start; message indicates Firefox is already running, even following a delete of Firefox, a new download and two reboots.
