I've always had Google in my opening http url. But now Firefox ignores whatever I put in, for example the Google URL and every time I close firefox and re open it has changed that preference back to force me to open Yahoo. I'm on a mac

This might be caused by an extension overriding your choice, or by external software that changes your Firefox settings.

(1) Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page (don't limit your search to official Yahoo add-ons):

Tools menu > Add-ons > on the left side click Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

(2) External software may create a user.js file. Firefox reads this file at each startup and uses it to modify your settings. To investigate this possibility, check out this article: How to fix preferences that won't save.

And then finally you should be able to set your home page without interference and have it stick. Any luck?
