After updating to latest version of Firefox all user accounts on my PC have the same homepage. Whichever account sets the homepage this is then set for all user accounts, is this a bug?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox 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.

There are other ways to override the home page setting for all users, see:
