Try this:

(1) Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.

(2) Check for user.js file that could override your settings. This article explains how: How to fix preferences that won't save.

(3) Check the shortcut you use to stat Firefox: right-click > Properties > Shortcut tab. Make sure there's no URL at the end of the Target command line.

After removing those three possible sources of interference, you should be able to choose your preferred home page and new tab page and have them actually stick!
