When I open settings and try to set https://www.google.com/search/ as my homepage to open each time I start Firefox, it will open to that page the next time, but only once. Subsequent times opening Firefox will open to a blank page. What am I doing wrong?

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.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
