I do not want Yahoo Search as my home page, but when I change to the home page I want, either through using the "options" button or dragging the page I want to the "home" icon, the next time I open the program, the Yahoo Search page is the opening page. The search bar also reverts back to Yahoo. I like Google, not Yahoo. Why doesn't the program preserve my choices? I am not a computer neophyte. I know how to change my home page and search. The program is not saving my choices.

Same problem here. It seems to do it each time I install an update.

Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.


You may have a program that changes your settings without you knowing. Check the programs that are on your computer

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.

Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session. You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create it on purpose.
