I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.

You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Tried that remedy, but without success. In the end I had to go to control panel and uninstalled 2 instances of the jZip programme, re-performed cor-el solution, re-installed Firefox over the top of existing program . success. I then re-installed jZip with care to install a custom installation without references to web browser installations
