Since updating I again set my home page to Yahoo. It's the page I've used for many years. When I now open firefox Yahoo doesn't load but what loads is the last page I visited before closing. Why is this happening and how do I resolve it please?

Tried that. Didn't solve problem.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
