Safari changing homepage!
Safari keeps setting my homepage to a yahoo search engine. I am unable to change it under preferences, as it will not let me - its "greyed out" and un-clickable. Any ideas on what to do?

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions, uninstall any you don't recognize, and then turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
