Hi ,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox. Your default search might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage and change your search engine.
If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at Location bar search.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article How to fix preferences that won't save.
If you are specifically talking about the about:home page then follow these steps by the-edmeister:
Firefox button > Web Developer -> Scratchpad - copy and paste this script into Scratchpad > then hit Execute > Run
javascript:{localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";void(0);}
Hopefully this helps!
