Cannot turn off predicted searches

Question

I cannot turn off predicted searches in FF and every time i fire up FF it goes to the search preferences page and i have to save my setting before i can get to the home page, this happens EVERY time. I have done all the cookie stuff, cleared them enabled them, disabled them and re-enabled them, tried every setting i can think of but it always does the same thing and i have to go through the save settings procedure
Thank god for Chrome

It could be that Google search is your homepage. You can try to change/delete the unwanted homepages in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''General''', beside '''Home Page:''' and add a new one. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20General%20panel?as=u Options > General.] If the homepage was added by an extension and is being reset to Google search, you may have to find the add-on in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-on''', '''Extensions''' (on the left) and either change the settings or '''Disable''' / '''Remove''' the extension.
If Firefox is stuck in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Session-Restore?s=restore+session&r=0&e=sph&as=s session restore] , you can try to delete the session: type '''about:sessionrestore''' in the location (address) bar, hit enter, click '''Start New Session''' , restart Firefox again and check.
The predictive search in Google is a Google feature and you may have to go into the Google Search options to turn it off.
