Earlier thread is closed, using FIrefox 15.0.1. Have saved either one or several homepages, and they lost and browser defaults to search home page when reopened. I have set security to same history. Do I need to eliminate Firefox as default search engine?

Do you have a problem with setting the Home page?

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

You can also check for problem with session restore.

From another site I found my solution. My problem related to "Search qu" which I had somehow loaded as the default search engine. To solve the problem you must uninstall "search qu". See directions at http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-remove-searchqu-uninstall-guide.html
