My preference constantly changes the homepage and new windows. I want Google.com to be the home page. I change the preference and it changes to something else after a few days. How do I make my preference permanent?

MacBookPro OS High Sierra

Firefox 86.0.1

Does this only/always happen after reboot the computer or also if you close and restart Firefox ? Maybe you have malware.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

Doesn't seem to be Malware.

Happens randomly. No pattern that I can see.
