Every single time I open firefox it takes me to two tabs: one that says "Almost done! Get your passwords, bookmarks and history on the go", (which told me to create an account, I did and it doesn't get rid of it. it just says that i need to add a profile picture and more. I don't want to do that) and the other that is the "mozilla firefox start page". No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this. It keeps asking me to sign in, and it NEVER takes me to my homepage. How can I get rid of this? I just want to set my homepage as yahoo.com again, and it NEVER saves. Please help me get rid of it and get my homepage back to how it was.

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
