I have made google.com my homepage but it reverts to google.ca when I reopen Firefox
When I go to Tools-Options-General and make google.com my homepage and use current page (I have already gone to google.com from google.ca) and close Firefox and reopen it, the page has reverted to google.ca. I tried making Firefox the default browser, thinking this might be the problem, but it doesn't fix it. I am at a loss because, as you know changing your homepage is usually routine. I have run scans to see if there was a trojan or other lurking around, even though it seemed unlikely, but have found nothing. Would appreciate your help. Thanks, Bert.

A workaround for this is to set your home page to http://www.google.com/ncr . This will always redirect you to the US home page.
Such details are stored in a cookie. If you want to prevent Google from redirecting you then you need to make an allow exception to keep that Google cookie.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions
Also make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
