In the meantime, you can open a Terminal and…

First backup the two files to your /home directory:

cp /usr/lib/firefox/ubuntumate.cfg /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/all-ubuntumate.js ~/.

Then remove the source files:

sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox/ubuntumate.cfg /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/all-ubuntumate.js

After restarting Firefox, you should now be able to set your desired home page. :slight_smile:

Thanks to @lah7 for previously mentioning (in another thread) which two files to remove.
