I cannot change the start page on Firefox on my Dell XP. I can change it on I.E., Seamonkey, and Netscape. Firefox always becomes the Dell/Google start page. I don't have the GoogleAFE nor the Browser Address Redirect programs. I don't have the My Way program. I am not using Zone Alarm (which locks the home page). No entry in the registry has a google.com/ig/dell URL. This only affect Firefox.

See the How to fix preferences that won't save article. If it is just the home page setting that can not be changed, the first place to check is the user.js file as shown in that article.

Thank you. That works. The Preferences are not saved article has one typo. instruction should read: "2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing Folder. "
