Somehow, "my web search" has hijacked Firefox. When I click the Firefox icon, "My Web Search" comes up instead. I can't find Firefox to reset my home page. The problem program doesn't appear in programs, so I can't uninstall it.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
