Hi macanudo,

You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. It might be a pref.js issue, so the second article should fix your issue with the search bar. These should give you all the information you need!

If that doesn't work:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
  3. In the Filter input field type startup
  4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
  5. Delete the text string and click OK
  6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.

Hopefully this helps!
