I'm not sure about Firefox. I was using it quite a bit before I lost everything when I switched XP to a new drive. But...I use Webroot Spysweeper. It notifies you of any attempted change to your homepage (in any browser), and you choose 'yes' or 'no' to let the change happen or keep your current settings. It also will pop up every time there is an attempt to save to your Favorites. Sometimes that part is a little annoying because it's one extra step, but it is good protection. Like I said, I don't know what's happening with Firefox in particular, but I'll bet if you use Spysweeper it won't happen again.
