My browser won't stay on commissioning, and home pages I want.

I can't get Firefox (v38.0.5 and earlier) to let my homepage and start empty page set: as soon as I closed and restart it, it comes up with a page of Yahoo! search.
I even tried to change in "subject: config", does not.

Is your start option on "when Firefox starts: display a blank page? And it keeps changing "when Firefox starts: show my Home Page" with a page that you have not selected?

These settings no doubt should not change between the time you exit Firefox and the time that you start it up again. The most common reasons they might do are:

(1) you have a file user.js in option in your settings that Firefox is discovered and using substitute your preferences on startup.

Please see section user.js our support article technical "How to fix preferences that will not save." By default, Windows hides the .js extension, so if you see a file named user with a type of JScript, which is probably the user.js file. Or to facilitate the task, set Windows to show all file extensions by following the steps in this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions.

(2) you have the privacy/security/utility software such as Advanced SystemCare that prevents unwanted changes to the settings of the browser (sometimes called protection of homepage).

Try turning off all this software until you have Firefox works correctly. Otherwise, the program will keep undo your changes.

(3) you have the malicious program or an add-on unwanted which continues to change your startup settings.

This is my procedure suggested to track down and cleaning of the bad modules. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

(A) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

B open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional; no ship with Firefox.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Any improvement?

(C) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

Success?
