I can have a FF session open, and set a new home page, as well as import a HTML file of my Safari bookmarks. All is well until I quit FF, which, upon reopening, diverts back to the default FF home page and no imported bookmarks show up.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
