hello G.S.Dangerfield,first please reset firefox. afterwards it should be possible to set your homepage again through firefox > options > general.

in addition you might want run a full scan of your system for malware with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

You can uninstall the "HowToSimplified" extension that shows in the System Details List.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
