Fixed it Doing a refresh seems to have sorted it

Well I thought it fixed it, did for a while now it back to not opening homepage, stupid Firefox I think it's time to try a different browser!!!!
Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear data like the browsing history?
You can check the startup setting:
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder that stores session data. When sessionstore.js is deleted you lose App Tabs and Tab Groups and open tabs and you will have to recreate them, so if necessary make a note or bookmark them.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
