What page is opening? The default 9-thumbnail page? Some other page?

Extensions can override your selections for new tab, home page, and search provider. Try reviewing and disabling nonessential, recently installed, or unrecognized extensions here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Make sure you got no software that protects home page settings. There are such programs.

Do you have any tab-related extensions that might be overriding the built-in setting? You can review your extensions here and either disable them or try their Options buttons:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
