After updating Firefox to 62.0 I haven't got my customized URL anymore. I have changed to Firefox default homepage but still get https://www.sm.de/ when starting Firefox. It is disturbing and annoying. How do I get rid of this strange homepage (see uploaded image)?

Sm.de is a browser hijacker that it will change the homepage and search engine for your web browser to http://www.sm.de
