For the first time tonight when I went to icon for Mozilla a page with yahoo came up. It did every time I tried it. Always before I got the Mozilla page with Google. Want the latter. What happened and how do I get the former back.

You probably installed something that changed your home page. Reset the home page to the default home page, for details of how to do that see the how to set the home page article.

No I did not add anything at all. Was OK the last time the last time I did a search and then turned off the computer. Next I tried to use Mozilla browser it came up with the Yahoo page without any mention of Mozilla. I can still get that page by going on my most wanted list and clicking on Mozilla. I must use the icon or program go on the Yahoo page then go to most visited to do that. I just want the Google page back.

Did you try resetting your Firefox Homepage, as TonyE mentioned?

Use the Restore to Default button on the General tab in Options (as shown in that article that TonyE hyperlinked) and then restart Firefox.
