When I open Firefox it goes to last page, not the Home page
Suddenly when I open Firefox, I get the last webpage I was on when I closed FF. I have everything set to Show My homepage, and duckduckgo.com as the target. I restored reset and reentered, but still not working correctly.

There are a few different possible reasons for this. I assume Firefox is showing that you have the correct setting, even after it does the wrong thing. If Firefox is forgetting your setting after each restart, the culprit could be something other than what I'm about the mention.
(1) user.js file
This is an optional settings file. If it exists, Firefox reads it at startup and it overrides your regular settings. Sometimes, for reasons unknown, this file contains a command to restore the previous session just this one time so that does not change your startup setting when you view it in Options, but since that runs every time you start Firefox, it always restores the previous session.
You can check for and remove this file using the steps in one of the sections of this article: How to fix preferences that won't save.
Note that by default Windows hides the .js extension on files. To work with files accurately, I suggest showing ALL file extensions. This article has the steps for that: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
(2) Crash recovery
If Firefox does not shut down correctly, it may assume it crashed and restore the previous session automatically. You also can change a setting so that instead of automatically restoring the session after a crash, Firefox presents a screen with a list of your windows and tabs and gives you the option to restore them or just start a new session. Changing this setting would be helpful in diagnosing whether your session is being restored due to crash recovery or some kind of settings override. If you want to try it, here's how:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste sess and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference and change the value from 1 to 0 and OK that.
Note: Please don't change any other sessionstore preferences without researching them first.
Any progress?
What security software do you have in case the user.js file got create by this software?
I deleted the text in the user.js file and it seems to be back to normal. Thanks jscher2000
