Firefox 35 will not allow me to customize Home Page to Google.

Using [Tools] [Options] [General] and setting Google, click the Home Icon works until I exit Firefox and restart.

Then the Home Page returns to...... http://services.freshy.com/general/newhometab.php?hometab=home&partner=11039&guid={621DBCDF-2519-4EB5-B868-1127A773853D}&i= .....which is Yahoo.

Even tried about:config to change, but keeps going back to Yahoo.

Is there a fix?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.

You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click). The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started 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.

You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

SpyHunter did NOT fix the http://services.freshy.com problem, did even find it.

Same for ESET OnLine Scanner & MS Safety Scanner.

Deleting user.js did the trick.

Thanks.
