Thank you but doesn't help

I have tried this and i have also tried manually editing the pref.JS file and have checked that it saved correctly However upon opening Firefox it is replaced with the gisly.com url as above. Safemode creates a new pref which is automatically filled with the url Too..

Did you check for a file user.js with an overriding pref setting?
