Hi foxfire2017,

Could you follow the steps given in the link here ?

Note that the default Firefox home page has this URL: about:home

In addition of the above :

Would you please take a look at the section 'How do I get the Firefox home page' in this article :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-default-home-page-has-links-to-features

Here are some follow-up notes "just in case":

Are you getting some other page overriding your choice of home page? To track down the problem, it's useful to try this test:

Launch a new window (Ctrl+n)

Scenario #1: If the unwanted page appears there, instead of the actual home page listed in Options, the likely culprit is an extension.

You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

• Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
• "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
• type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any extensions that Firefox installs on its own are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage. Anything suspicious? If in doubt, disable.

Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox before the change takes effect. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Any improvement?

Scenario #2: If a new window has your correct home page and the problem only occurs when you use your desktop shortcut:

The Firefox icon can be set up to launch specific pages at startup (or more specifically, when you use the icon). To check whether that is set:

First, open the shortcut as follows:

• Desktop shortcut: right-click the icon, choose Properties
• Pinned taskbar icon: right-click the icon, right-click Mozilla Firefox, choose Properties

Windows normally will select the Shortcut tab. If not, go ahead and click the Shortcut tab.

You'll see the Target highlighted. On 32-bit Windows, that usually is no more and no less than the following:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

If anything follows after that, try clearing it out.

After OK'ing the Properties dialog, you can test right away to confirm that Firefox now launches only your home page. Either:

• double-click desktop shortcut
• right-click pinned taskbar icon, click Mozilla Firefox

Success?

Scenario #3: Desktop shortcut is clean, but home page setting is changed between shutdown and startup:
