How to bring back my old homepage?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me. My homepage changed to dosearches.com and I want to bring back my old one, as I am not familiar with this page and where it came from. Can someone explain to me how to do that? Thanks.

I found removal instructions:
»www.xp-vista.com/spyware-removal···al-guide

Here is what I had to do:

Removal from Mozilla Firefox:
1. Open the Tools menu and go to Options.
2. Click Manage Add-ons.
3. When on the Extensions menu, find all unfamiliar add-ons and remove them. Close the window.
4. You should be on the Options window again.
5. Under the General tab, find the home page address and replace the current address with a new one. Click OK.
6. Go to the Firefox search bar on the top right corner of your browser window.
7. Left-click on it and select Manage Search Engines at the very bottom.
8. Designate a search engine of your desire and remove the unwanted one.
9. Click OK.

Later I downloaded »www.malwarebytes.org as suggested by another person.
