I understand it's their (work's) computer and they can do anything they want to it, but I was using TorgoX's homepage on Firefox (I also copied his Unicode Sliderule locally, and use that in the homepage link), when an update was pushed to my computer from the company servers. After which I noticed that the homepage had changed to the company's intranet main page (which I have as a bookmark, but which I rarely want to see at all, let alone when I start up Firefox). Also, when I reset the home page through the normal Tools->Options, it didn't stick, and would revert when I restarted. I saw a suspicious entry in user.js, changed that, and now all is well. For now.
“The sterility of offices is supposed to suggest efficiency. But suggesting efficiency is a different thing from actually being efficient. The atmosphere of the average workplace is to productivity what flames painted on the side of a car are to speed.” —Paul Graham, What Business Can Learn from Open Source
