Change Home Page and New Window
How do I change the Home Page and New Window. The methods shown on a search to not match the menu structure that show on my version (should be up to date) of FireFox. I select "open application menu" top right corner. The selected settings, then Home. Home page and new windows drop down box is clicked and new custom URL is entered. There is option to save the new Home Page. If you exit and restart it defaults back to FireFox home page. How is the change saved.
Using Google search all the various sources of help either describe or show a different set of screens to my version of FireFox.

You can check for problems with preferences. You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases.
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
