Homepage keeps reseting to Firefox default

My Homepage keeps reseting to Firefox default and I can't get it to stick. I recently installed Norton Internet Security for Mac. I'm not sure if that changed anything but not that I can tell. I've seen similar questions asked here but they offer solutions for Windows and not Mac.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

I found it to be the Norton internet Security add-on but not sure why it's doing it. It only does it on one of my computers.

Open the options on all of your protection programs, and tell them to leave the browses alone. For anti-virus, look under; Autoprotect or Programs Monitor
