Tried new tab homepage addon as well. Tried uninstalling Babylonobject installer with Revo Uninstaller forced uninstal. Tried reinstalling firefox.

Setting Homepage to Show a Blank Page works for the startup but means I cannot have a homepage setup.

Firefox detects something trying to change the homepage on start up but does nothing about preventing Babylon even if the change is denied.

Firefox doesn't detect such changes and alert you.
If you do get an alert then you either have an extension that guards some prefs or you have security software that does this.

See these pages about Babylon Toolbar:

It sounds like you have a Third-Party Toolbar that has taken over your Search Engine, Home Page, and/or the Default New Tab Page. Fortunately this can be remedied easily:

  1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
  2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
  3. Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
  4. Click the Remove button.
  5. Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

After Firefox restarts, install the Search Reset Tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.

For further information, please read Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.
