I had the same problem in chrome. I'd uninstalled all the software, run malwarebytes and gotten rid of everything but the start page for a new tab and home page kept going to snapdo. Fix is so easy I'm mad at myself for not figuring it out. My problem and solution was through Chrome, not firefox or IExplorer, but try to find equivalent settings.

To fix the startup page:
In Chrome (2013) go to Settings - On Start Up - change "Open a specific page or pages" option to a different page (or, as I do select "Open the new tab page")

To fix the home page:
In Chrome (2013) go to Settings - Appearance - Show Home Button - Click "Change" and set it to whatever you want the home page to be.

Sorry, don't know how to change these settings in Firefox or IExplorer.

Remember, this is after you uninstall the software and run malwarebytes or something similar and have all that cleared up.

'startup tools'
then 'browser pages'
