Windows 11 Pro 24H2 Trouble loading Google Search despite configuring Firefox settings

Hi,

So over the past month I have had trouble making google search my preferred option for my home page and new page default in Firefox. I have the latest version of windows and Firefox but when I open a new Firefox browsing session it loads the Firefox homepage not the google search page, similarly when I open a new tab. There was no issue accessing websites on my bookmark bar

The homepage issue seems to have been because the DNS was pushing to the wrong IP address for https://google.co.uk (something raised in a different post with a similar issue) I I fixed the homepage issue by entering the correct IP in the browser, google search opened immediately, I then then saved the page as a bookmark and in the Home settings chose use bookmarked page for home and new page and chose the saved google search bookmark (see attached screenshot)

However when I open a new tab it defaults to the the Firefox homepage not google search? If I click on the home button the google search page appears. My question is why is Firefox not following the settings I set for homepage and new tab setting and how can I fix this?

I have tried resetting firefox made no difference. I do not think this an antivirus problem since there is no problem access google search as the homepage only on a new tab further if I click the home button when on a new tab google search pops up immediately
